Molecular Epigenetic Mechanisms of Cancer

On February 19th, 2022, the Quality Assurance, at the Catholic University in Erbil (CUE), organized a seminar titled “Molecular Epigenetic Mechanisms of Cancer” which was presented by Dr. Kewan Kamal.

Throughout the seminar, Dr. Kewan presented a detailed explanation of the risk factors that increase cancer incidence in general and demonstrated how epigenetic mechanisms deregulated in cancer status, like DNA hypermethylation, histone deacetylation, and phosphorylation based on amino acids residues.

Additionally, he explained how lifestyles and environments have a potential impact on DNA and modification of chromatin structure.

At the end of the seminar, Dr. Kewan answered all the raised questions by the attendees. The department Quality Assurance (QA) has awarded Dr. Kewan a certificate of appreciation for his hard work and the valuable information provided to the CUE faculty.
