Cancer Researchers on the Rise: Amin Sobh, Ph.D. [VIFE

Amin Sobh, Ph.D., is a research assistant professor in the Division of Hematology/Oncology in the UF College of Medicine who recently completed his postdoctoral training in the lab of Jonathan D. Licht, M.D., director of the UF Health Cancer Center.

Sobh studies multiple myeloma, the second most common blood cancer. He focuses on a subtype characterized by a chromosomal abnormality that drives overexpression of a cancer-promoting gene called NSD2. The abnormality typically makes the disease more aggressive and patients have worse outcomes. Sobh’s research aims to identify vulnerabilities in cells caused by NSD2 overexpression that can be therapeutically targeted and translated to the clinic.
