Dr. Aadilah Omar

Aadilah Omar is a cancer molecular biologist whose work centers on the signaling networks and epigenetic mechanisms driving colorectal cancer progression. Her research explores how pathways such as MAPK and Sonic Hedgehog regulate tumor growth and cancer stem cell behavior, with emphasis on targeted inhibition strategies and translational therapeutic development.

Her publications highlight integrative approaches combining in vitro models, cancer stem cell isolation, bioinformatics, and molecular docking. Studies on microRNA regulation and epigenetic modulation in colorectal cancer have clarified how DNA methylation and histone modifications influence tumor suppressor miRNAs, while computational analyses identify actionable gene targets within oncogenic pathways.

Omar has also contributed to research on laminin receptor biology, metastatic mechanisms, and the molecular interplay between HIV and cancer. Collectively, her work advances understanding of tumor signaling crosstalk, metastasis, and pathway-specific inhibitors, positioning her as a researcher focused on mechanistic insight and novel therapeutic avenues in oncology.
