Mohamed Bentires-alj PhD

Mohamed Bentires-Alj is a junior group leader at the Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research in Basel. His group is interested in normal mammary gland development and breast cancer. His lab focuses on signaling pathways that underlay mammary gland differentiation and breast cancer/metastasis. To achieve these goals, they use three-dimensional cultures, FACS sorting of mammary stem cells and breast tumor-initiating cells, mouse cleared fat pad transplantation assay and transgenic and knockout mice.
