Dr. Hanau completed four years of post-graduate work (Ph.D.) in biology at Temple University in Philadelphia. She earned her degree as a naturopathic Medical Doctor in 2000, after putting her career on hold to raise 3 children. Having extensive laboratory and clinical experience, Dr. Hanau was chosen by Dr. James Morre to spearhead the clinical translation of his life’s research on ENOX2 proteins and their role in cancer. She worked closely with the Morre’s for over 10 years. During this time, Dr. Hanau was instrumental in completing the tissue of origin library of cancers for the ONCOblot ENOX2 Assay, as well as developing a Tumor Burden Assay in collaboration with Dr. Morre. She has developed and marketed several ENOX2 interventional nutraceuticals and is a founding owner of IndigoBridge Laboratories.
