So proud to be helping with this program! #STEMeducation @UPMCHillmanCC @PittTweet These high schoolers get the chance to do real research at Hillman Cancer Center Academy wtae.com/article/hillma…

Thank you for sharing your summer with us, UPMC Hillman Cancer Center Academy students! These high school students spent eight weeks at Pitt working on #CancerResearch projects with faculty mentors.

How did you spend the summer? These high school & undergrads were in cancer labs @PittTweet, @MageeWomens, & UPMC Hillman as part of the UPMC Hillman Academy! Today they present their science. Amazing work! @UPMCnews #CancerResearch

Happy first week to our CompBio Academy students! These rising high school juniors and seniors will gain research experience in computational structural biology, systems biology and bioinformatics.

If you’re an undergraduate instructor or mentor come check out this gene expression analysis module I made 😌 Registration for the workshop ends June 14th!

NCI offers summer research internships for students interested in exploring careers in all areas of cancer research. Internships are open to students in high school through graduate school. Learn more and how to apply: spr.ly/6010ZZgvj #CancerTraining #CancerResearch

Discovery of RNA fusions in metastatic breast cancers may lead to cancer-specific targets for existing drugs or patient-specific targets using advances in gene therapy according to new research from @DanaFarber & @broadinstitute’s Nolan Priedigkeit (@npriedig) #SABCS23

Genes from #breastcancer cells can fuse together & result in new proteins that promote treatment resistance -these are found in 1/3 of MBCs according to @npriedig @ #SABCS23. This work was done in collaboration with Komen scientists @oesterreichs & @AdrianVLee.

Proud to see our former MSTP (Nolan) and current MSTP (Neil) trainees showing posters side by side @SABCSSanAntonio #SABCS23 @oesterreichs @PittCMU_MSTP @UPMCHillmanCC
