Translational Research in Malignancies Members

The Translational Research in Malignancies (TRIM) program is a highly interactive translational cancer research program. Its main objective is to conduct studies centered on molecular mechanisms of cancer progression and therapeutic resistance and to translate basic science and preclinical discoveries into early diagnosis, biomarkers, and cancer therapeutics.

Research Assistant Professor

Bio

My central hypothesis is that glioma cell-specific Chek2-YBX1/3 interaction transcriptionally reprograms the glioma cells to escape the CD8 T cell mediated killing.

Eklund, Elizabeth A.

Bio

The focus of my laboratory is to understand the key events in normal myelopoiesis and how leukemia-associated mutations derange these processes during leukemogenesis.
