The 2022 Cell Bio Conference in Washington DC hosted by the American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) and the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) featured advances in multiple areas of cell biology.
Our Post-doc Mandy had to opportunity to present her poster on “PD-L1 promotes rear retraction during persistent cell migration by altering intergrin beta-4 dynamics.”
Mandy attends AACR Special Conference on Tumor Immunology and Immunotherapy to further share her work on “Therapeutic Blocking of VEGF Binding to Neuropilin-2 Diminishes PD-L1 Expression to Activate Anti-Tumor Immunity in Prostate Cancer.”
This week our postdoc Mandy Wang attended the Cancer Immunotherapy Conference hosted by the Cancer Research Institute, the European Network for Cancer Immunotherapy, and the American Association for Cancer Research. This conference focused on “Translating Science into Survival.”
Mandy was able to present a poster highlighting her work on “Therapeutic blocking of VEGF binding to neuropilin-2 inhibits PD-L1 to activate anti-tumor immunity in prostate cancer.”
You can find her abstract and all of the other abstracts from the conference here.
Welcome to UMass Chan!
Two of our graduate students got to present some of their work for first-year students this week.
5th year student Dimpi presenting her work on TRPC6 sustains stemness and therapy resistance
4th year student Emmet presenting his work on ferroptosis resistance in TNBC
Last month two of our graduate students spent time learning outside of our lab!
Emmet attended a single cell cancer biology conference focused on Dissecting Evolution and Heterogeneity of Single Cancer Cells.
Ayush attended the Cancer Systems Biology Course at UCI learning about single-cell RNA-seq, mathematical modeling, and metabolomics.
