Personal profile
Personal profile
Dr. Mahinur Mattohti is an Assistant Professor of Cancer Epigenomics at Houston Methodist Research Institute (HMRI), Weill Cornell Medical College. Prior to joining HMRI as faculty in September 2022, she completed her postdoctoral fellowship and held an instructor position at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. Dr. Mattohti’s work focuses on understanding how epigenetic changes drive tumorigenesis, disease progression, and the development of therapy resistance, with the goal of leveraging these insights to design innovative therapeutic strategies.
Research interests
Dr. Mattohti’s laboratory combines experimental, computational, and high-throughput technologies to study and modulate epigenetic changes in cancer. The overarching goals of the lab are to: (1) identify the epigenetic drivers of cancer development and progression, (2) uncover the epigenetic alterations and mechanisms underlying resistance to targeted and immunotherapies, and (3) exploit novel epigenetic targets to develop innovative therapeutic strategies.
