Zeina Nasr is Assistant Professor, at the Department of Biology in the University of Balamand, Lebanon. She did her PhD from McGill University in the Department of Biochemistry. She has her interest in understanding the molecular aspect of tumor initiation and progression. Her research focuses on studying the effect of translation initiation dysregulation on cancer behavior. She has worked with several cell lines and transgenic mouse models and deciphered important pathways that contribute to cancer initiation and progression to metastasis. She has experience in conducting research and teaching at various institutions. Currently, her work focuses on the extra-ribosomal functions of ribosomal proteins and their effects on tumorigenesis.
