Biography

Hakima Amri holds a PhD in Biochemistry and MS in Reproductive Physiology from Pierre and Marie Curie University, Paris, France. After completing her post-doctoral training in Molecular Endocrinology at the department of Cell Biology, she joined the department of Biochemistry and Cellular and Molecular Biology at Georgetown University to research natural therapeutics for cancer. Dr. Amri’s background and work in cancer research led to the creative application of phylogenetics to mutation-based diseases, such as cancer. This multi-disciplinary background provides her with a profound understanding of the disease biochemical pathways and the limitations facing biomedical research.  Most recently, she has been advocating the application of phylogenetics analysis to high-throughput omics. She shows that parsimony phylogenetics is a multidimensional dynamic analytical tool that is useful for disease modeling, profiling, and subtyping as well as biomarker discovery. Furthermore, it unravels clonal from non-expanded mutations and fathoms the primary origin of some cancers.
