Dr. Noelle Cutter

By training I am a scientist in the field of molecular biology.  My work focuses around epigenetics, changes and repair of DNA without actually changing the genetic sequence.  I am interested in how it changes when people get cancer.  Specifically, I look at an alteration in DNA called methylation, or adding a very small group (methyl) which consists of carbon and 3-hydrogens to the start site of genes in DNA.  When that happens, the gene no longer is transcribed.  Methylation is an epigenetic change that acts sort of like a light switch.  When methyl is added, genes are turned off.  When methyl is removed, genes are turned back on.  It is a cool way that a cell can control when and how much to turn genes on/off.  In our lab, we hypothesize that cancer cells interfere with this process to help them grow and divide uncontrollably. We are currently studying medulloblastoma, a rare type of pediatric brain cancer, and the role that methylation plays in gene regulation allowing tumors to grow and divide.  By doing so, we hope to be able to better diagnose patients so we can treat them more efficiently.

I am a mother to four beautiful children, Lily, Lucy, Jack and Isabel.  All aged 7 and under.  I am married to a wonderful supportive husband, Paul, who shares my love of running, biking and swimming.   My research drive came about when I lost my nephew Louis to Medulloblastoma at only 18 months.  I knew then that I wanted to understand why this was happening so that I could help others.  I work closely with the Katie McBride foundation in my local community to help support families going through similar struggles.  I recently ran the NYC marathon and raised over $37,000 for the foundation and its outreach to 5 local families being treated at the Ronald McDonald House here on Long Island.
