Mercurio Lab News
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.
Congratulations to all the UMass Chan graduates!
Special congrats to Dr. Walker! She successfully defended her thesis back in October on how O-linked glycosylation can define stem cell populations. She has since been working as a Scientist at Sanofi.
We are so glad she was able to come back and celebrate at commencement with us last weekend!
Graduate student Dimpi Mukhopadhyay was selected to give a short talk on her current work at The Cell Signaling in Cancer Conference: From Mechanisms to Therapy, hosted by the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology.
Third-year M.D./Ph.D. student Ayush Kumar is officially a Ph.D candidate at UMass Chan Medical School. His current research interests are focused on mechanisms that contribute to radio-resistance in triple-negative breast cancer. Congrats Ayush!
