Their research focuses on understanding how RAS drives stemness, identifying novel RAS drug targets and mechanisms, and developing proof-of-concept drugs. The lab aims at applications in cancer, RASopathies and stem cell\/ regenerative biology. <\/p>\n\n<p>Prof. Abankwa successfully supervised more than 60 scientists, and his PhD students continued to excellent follow-up positions in academia and industry. His publication venues include The EMBO Journal, Nature Communications, Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, Communications Biology etc. Since 2020 he secured &gt; 3 M EUR funding from the Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR) for international and interdisciplinary collaborations with physicists, chemists and biologists.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/li>\n\n<li class=\"list-highlighted__item  wp-block-unilux-blocks-highlighted-list-item\">\n    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header wp-block-unilux-blocks-highlighted-list-item-header\">\n    \n<h4 class=\"title text-18 font-bold has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"teaching\"\n    >\nTeaching<\/h4>\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-bigtext\">\n    <span>\n        \n    <\/span>\n<\/div><\/header><div class=\"list-highlighted__body wp-block-unilux-blocks-highlighted-list-item-body\">\n    <div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-highlighted-list-item-free-content-area\">\n    \n<p>He is the Director of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/research-en\/doctoral-education\/dsse\/molecular-biomedicine\">Doctoral Programme in Systems and Molecular Biomedicine <\/a>(since 2022).<\/p>\n\n<p>He gives courses at bachelor, master and doctoral levels: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"ulux-list\">\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">Molecular Biology 1 and 3 in the Bachelor in Life Sciences<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">General Oncology in the Bachelor of Medicine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">Protein Structure and Function in the Master in Molecular and Computational Biomedicine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">Mechanisms of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases \u2013 Lessons from Aging in the Doctoral Programme in Systems and Molecular Biomedicine<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/li>\n\n<li class=\"list-highlighted__item  wp-block-unilux-blocks-highlighted-list-item\">\n    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header wp-block-unilux-blocks-highlighted-list-item-header\">\n    \n<h4 class=\"title text-18 font-bold has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"outreach\"\n    >\nOutreach<\/h4>\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-bigtext\">\n    <span>\n        \n    <\/span>\n<\/div><\/header><div class=\"list-highlighted__body wp-block-unilux-blocks-highlighted-list-item-body\">\n    <div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-highlighted-list-item-free-content-area\">\n    \n<p>Three patents for a target in the RAS pathway.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/li>\n\n<li class=\"list-highlighted__item  wp-block-unilux-blocks-highlighted-list-item\">\n    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header wp-block-unilux-blocks-highlighted-list-item-header\">\n    \n<h4 class=\"title text-18 font-bold has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"awards-distinctions\"\n    >\nAwards\/Distinctions<\/h4>\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-bigtext\">\n    <span>\n        \n    <\/span>\n<\/div><\/header><div class=\"list-highlighted__body wp-block-unilux-blocks-highlighted-list-item-body\">\n    <div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-highlighted-list-item-free-content-area\">\n    \n<p>Daniel obtained several competitive fellowships, such as the Sigrid Juselius Senior Fellowship in Finland, the Academy of Finland Research Fellowship and a fellowship for advanced researchers from the Swiss National Science Foundation.
