About the research

Azzam investigates whether testing a patient’s cancer cells outside the body can help guide treatment choices.

Read the full research overview

Her laboratory combines genomic information with ex vivo drug-response measurements in functional precision medicine, focusing on adult and pediatric cancers with limited remaining treatment options. FIU describes collaborations with local hospitals and clinical studies assessing feasibility and clinical utility in relapsed or refractory disease. The broader research includes therapy resistance, metastatic behavior, and cancer stem cells. This group links laboratory measurements with a specific translational question: which available treatments show relevant activity against an individual patient’s tumor?
