Rami
Khoury

Rami Khoury is an MD/PhD candidate studying cancer biology and nanomedicine. His research bridges fundamental biology and therapeutic innovation by exploring how BRCA1-mutated breast cancer metastasizes to the brain. He investigates how tumour cells hijack and reprogram brain-resident cells to create a supportive environment for metastasis. To counter this, Rami is developing precisely engineered, nano-scale drug carriers designed to enhance drug delivery, enabling therapies to cross the blood–brain barrier and selectively treat brain tumours. By integrating biological insights with advanced drug delivery systems, he aims to uncover disease mechanisms and translate them into novel treatments for patients.

Rami earned his BSc in medical sciences from the Ruth and Bruce Rappaport Faculty of Medicine at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. He was born and raised in Shefa-Amr and currently lives in Tel Aviv. Rami has volunteered with children in Tanzania and in his hometown. Alongside his research, he enjoys spending time with family and friends, listening to podcasts, and travelling.
