I am Ettaib El Marabti, but people call me E sometimes. Born and raised in Morocco, I received some of my education in Qatar, Pittsburgh and New York City. I have lived in 3 different continents in the last 4 years (Africa, Asia, America) and I speak 3 languages, Arabic, French and English.
My passions are M&M – Music and Medicine. I am a classically trained pianist/composer and a medical student at Weill Cornell Medicine, hoping to become an Oncologist. My introduction to cancer has been through research and I’ve been curious about it ever since. I have seen/taken care of cancer patients during my medical training and I’ve realized how despicable of a disease it is. In summary, I hate cancer but I love the challenge it poses to modern medicine. Therefore, most of my research has been on malfunctioning molecular mechanisms (e.g. RNA splicing) in cancers such as breast cancer and hematologic malignancies.
Axia Song
Current position: Research Technician
MD. Institute of Hematology & Blood Disease Hospital, Peking Union Medical College & Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Beijing, China.
I was trained as a medical doctor in China and was in active clinical hematology and oncology before I moved to Australia. In 2013, I started research work in a translational leukemia research lab in Queensland, AU. Most of my previous work has been on experimental animal and leukemia. I’m glad to join Dr. Lee’s lab and continue learning about hematopoiesis and myeloid neoplasm.
I enjoy the time with my family. To be a tailor is my dream, I love to make clothes for kids.
