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 🥰.
It was wonderful listening to Dr. Julia Maxson speak about epigenetic dysfunction in leukemias today. After the seminar, CCB graduate students joined Dr. Maxson for lunch and learned to not let fear get in the way of trying. Thank you for your talk, mentorship, and wise words!
So excited to finally see my PhD work from the #GajewskiLab published in Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer ! This work supports a notion that our lab has been increasingly interested in: can loss-of-function SNPs associated for autoimmunity be a new source for novel checkpoint blockade targets? 1/n
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.
Applications for UChicagoCancerCenter's '25-26 Chicago EYES on Cancer cohort are due Dec. 2! Participating high school and college students work in cancer researchers' labs for two summers while attending lectures and year-round career development workshops: bit.ly/3ATq3Et
📕 New publication: Lixing Yang, PhD, and his collaborators at UC San Francisco have published an exciting work in Nature Cancer demonstrating the novel approaches to treat aggressive cancers. #GeneticInstability #Collision #DNARepair Jonathan Chou UChicago Committee on Cancer Biology ow.ly/QEtK50UahjS
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.
Our grantee, Akash Patnaik, MD, PhD, MMSc, shares the impact of the V Foundation's commitment to funding bold, innovative cancer research. 👇
Thank you to Mara Sherman Lab for giving her presentation "Mechanisms and Consequences of Tumor Stromal Evolution" today and for sharing her insights into community building and thriving in academia with our students. We had so much fun and can't wait to see you again in Chicago!
Minisymposium on adoptive cell therapies: Paulina Walczak from Kunle Odunsi, MD Lab shares how the overexpression of Serpin B9 in anti-tumor T cells restrains granzyme B mediated auto-destruction & improves the therapeutic effect of adoptive cell therapy in ovarian cancer. #AACR25
Out at last in @BloodJournal!! doi.org/10.1182/blood.… So very proud of Nicole Arellano and team! Nicole conceived of this project as a 19 year old undergrad in my brand new lab, and 6 years of (literal) blood, sweat and tears later, here she is in all her glory!
new work in Blood Journal featuring Caner Saygin, MD as co-author looking at type 2 CALR mutations and BCL-xL in MPNs! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40403318/
