Dr Anna Golebiewska is Group leader of the NORLUX Neuro-Oncology laboratory at the Department of Oncology, Luxembourg Institute of Health. She has a background in molecular and cellular biology and obtained her PhD in stem cell research. Her work focuses on understanding brain tumour biology and development of clinically relevant animal models. She is particularly interested in the various aspects of tumour heterogeneity and the cancer stem cell hypothesis. Her current projects aim to tackle intrinsic plasticity allowing brain tumour cells to adapt and survive external pressures from microenvironmental cues and treatment. Her lab developed a large collection of glioma patient-derived organoids and orthotopic xenografts for preclinical research and drug testing.
