Achievements

​

Generating large data from microarrays experiments using breast cancer cell line model systems to investigate breast cancer subtype-specific molecular profiling and the role of androgen in differential expression of mRNA, microRNA, circular RNA, and long noncoding RNA molecules.

Training of numerous students and young researchers on a plethora of cellular, molecular, and biochemical techniques.

The lab is open to researchers and for collaborations.  One collaboration was established with The COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative, an international group led by Professor Andrea Ganna at the 
3Institute for Molecular Medicine Finland (FIMM), University of Helsinki (Helsinki, Finland), during the COVID-19 pandemic.  This collaboration was culminated in the publication of the "A second update on mapping the human genetic architecture of COVID-19" in Nature in 2023 (oi.org/10.1038/s41586-023-06355-3​).​

On December 19, 2024, His Majesty King Abdallah II bestowed Professor Mamoun Ahram the silver Jubilee Medal for his efforts and contributions in cancer research. This is a testament of the high-quality research conducted by Professor Ahram's laboratory, collaborators, and team of researchers. After which, Professor Mamoun was interviewed by the Jordanian TV to elaborate on his research and King Abdallah II support for reseach in Jordan.

Ms. Bayan Abu Alragheb (now Dr.) won the Global Scholar In Training presented by the American Association for Cancer Research award at the 2023 annual meeting for her poster presentation on the association of microRNA molecules with the expression of androgen receptor in triple-negative breast cancer. The data originated from Prof. Ahram's laboratory in collaboration with Dr. Maysa Al-Husseini at the King Hussein Cancer Center (KHCC).
