Congratulations to @andreasteminist for winning an AACR Minority Scholar in Cancer Research (MICR) Travel Award to present her work in intratumoral cytokine therapy for head and neck cancer at the @AACR Annual Meeting. Check out her poster on 4/28/25! #AACR25

Another great @sitcancer meeting done and dusted. Great line up of speakers, learned a lot as usual, and enjoyed seeing @andreasteminist and @SungaGema present their work at the poster sessions. Well done!

Lots of great research presented at @UTSDHouston Student Research Showcase today! Arman Hassan, Shawn Nguyen, @andreasteminist, @SungaGema, Alejandra Cobos Perez, @CMLBarrows, Audra Boehm, Neeraja Dharmaraj, Nourhan Hussein repping @younglabUTH projects 👍🧪

@floresrene1870 Thank you!

@andreasteminist Congratulations Andrea. This is very impressive.

Our book is finally out! Really glad to have been part of this effort 📚

Here with the @younglabUTH at the Allison Institute Symposium hearing the latest and greatest on “Immunotherapy in Space and Time” at TMC3. Incredible roster of presentations, just a block away from @UTSDHouston! Speaks to the incredible collaborative environment we have here!

If you are looking for mentorship from leaders in industry, #SMDP is for you! The one year career #mentoring program pairs ethnically #diverse students with industry #mentors who work at companies in the #medtech & #biotech industries. To learn more visit: smdp.icpdprograms.org

There's lots of excitement surrounding immunotherapy to treat oral cancer and lesions at risk of becoming cancer (OPMDs). We discuss the limitations of systemic delivery and how localized, intratumoral approaches w/ biomaterials can address these: tinyurl.com/y9p8khut

As the '24 summer term comes to a close, wanted to thank Peyton Worley (BYU) and Arman Hassan (Rice) for joining the @younglabUTH and working on important immunotherapy projects modulating dendritic cells and MDSCs. We♥️ your enthusiasm + energy and wish you all the best!

Great baby shower with the @younglabUTH celebrating @andreasteminist and her highly anticipated little scientist on the way!

@siwyoung @younglabUTH Thank you!

@andreasteminist @younglabUTH Congrats Andrea, looking forward to your next phase!

Officially a Ph.D candidate! @younglabUTH

Way to go, Andrea @andreasteminist ! Congratulations! 🙌🥼

Thanks to all the @UTSDHouston students who participated in the 2023 Student Research Showcase and a big congratulations to our lab’s PhD graduate student Andrea Hernandez @andreasteminist for Best Poster Award today!

Our lab was super-excited to have legendary orthognathic surgeon and Osteo Science Foundation Scientific and Education Liaison Dr. Myron Tucker visit us today where we provided an overview of our tissue engineering and cancer immunotherapy projects.

@younglabUTH @MDA_UTHGrad @SungaGema Congrats Gema!! 👏🏼

Congratulations to @MDA_UTHGrad PhD student @SungaGema for getting her first publication with the Young/Sikora labs, reviewing biomaterials-based methods to enhance immunotherapies in HNSCC! liebertpub.com/doi/abs/10.108…

Congratulations, Andrea @andreasteminist! Way to go! 🙌✨

Andrea Hernandez—a PhD student in the Immunology program—earned a NIDCR Diversity Supplement. She joined the lab of Simon Young, DDS, MD, PhD, because her interest in translational work led her to a passion in improving cancer immunotherapy strategies. go.uth.edu/GSBS-Hernandez…
