What a treat to celebrate 10 yrs of pathways programs with my friends & colleagues at UChicagoCancerCenter. These programs & the trainees have created my career’s proudest moments. Also love seeing the impact of American Cancer Society support of DICR internships & SHE Program.
Today I had the pleasure of speaking at UChicagoCancerCenter’s 10th Annual Summer Research Symposium. This terrific event brought together trainees from the center’s Pathway Programs, along with their support networks—family, research mentors, and stakeholders. spr.ly/6013YGFiT
So impressed with the high-quality science presented by trainees supported through the American Cancer Society-funded Diversity in Cancer Research (DICR) internship & Summer Healthcare Experience (SHE) in Oncology Programs at UChicagoCancerCenter. The future is bright!
Great to met with students and faculty at UChicagoCancerCenter who are conducting cutting-edge research in cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship. Thanks for all that you do.
Congrats to our PhD student Marta Storl-Desmond for being awarded the Robert C. and Mary Jane Gallo Scholarship! UChicago Committee on Cancer Biology
One of the strengths of the CCB program is our connection to the UChicagoCancerCenter which supports our trainees and faculty in team science initiatives and in translating our research from bench to bedside. At the Ignite Symposium, CCB faculty spoke about their exciting new work.
#AACR25 is coming to Chicago this year. Hurry up and submit your abstracts. UChicagoCancerCenter UChicago Committee on Cancer Biology
Calling all UChicago Committee on Cancer Biology students- this is a great opportunity!
Meet David Rodriguez! David studied Biology at UC Santa Barbara and completed a post-bacc at EinsteinPhD in NYC. He's interested in advancing cancer bio research and growing as a scientist. You can often find him skateboarding through the streets and neighborhoods of Chicago! 🛹
Meet Elyse Schechter! She studied biology at UNC-Chapel Hill. Elyse is interested in mechanisms of tumor evolution and drug resistance. She loves to cook and is excited to explore Chicago and the amazing food and activities it has to offer.
It's third time that The University of Chicago hosts #SouthSideScienceFestival, providing a great opportunity for young kids s to expose to various areas of science and learn from experts how science works. UChicagoCancerCenter
This is Shuxuan Yi! Shuxuan studied biology science at Tsinghua University and is now interested in understanding the tumor microenvironment (TME) and developing new treatments to help reduce drug resistance. Besides research, she loves raccoons 🦝 and is a video game enjoyer 🥰.
We had wonderful discussions at our first joint work-in-progress session with UChicago Committee on Immunology! We can't wait to create more collaborative spaces for our graduate students and scientists in the future.
This holiday season, CCB students volunteered with TutoringChicago to distribute over 950 gifts to students across Chicago. Many of our members are involved in outreach organizations including Tutoring Chicago which provides tutoring to students facing economic/social barriers.
