Welcome to Dr Omer Gilan
Welcome to Dr Omer Gilan, who is newly established in the Australian Centre for Blood Diseases researching blood epigenetics.
Dr Gilan's research interests are the epigenetic landscapes of leukaemia cells and the role they play in the response and resistance to therapy, adaptation and the maintenance of the leukaemic and stem-like state. Ultimately the goal is to develop strategies to reset the cells back to the normal state for therapeutic benefit.
