Training Group:

Molecular Signaling and Cancer Biology

Research Summary:

My research focuses on the role of protein phosphatases in pancreatic cancer. Specifically their role in growth factor receptor signaling in pancreatic cancer progression.

Why did you choose to attend PULSe:

I chose to attend PULSe because of the opportunity to rotate in labs from many different departments. Going into grad school I knew I wanted to do cancer research, but PULSe gave me the opportunity to explore many different aspects of cancer research before choosing my permanent lab.

About Me: (Hobbies and Interests when not in lab):

Outside of lab I enjoy watching sports, bike riding, and baking. I also enjoy spending times with friends and family.
