Training Group:
Chromatin and Regulation of Gene Expression
Mentor / Lab:
Brittany Allen-Petersen
Research Profile:
Pancreatic cancer has a 5-year survival rate of just 13%, indicating a critical need for increased understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in tumorigenesis and progression. My thesis aims to interrogate the complex regulation of critical oncogenic signaling pathways in pancreatic tumors by Protein Phosphatase 2A (PP2A). Results of these studies will define the mechanisms that contribute to pancreatic cancer cell survival and therapeutic resistance, and identify novel roles for PP2A in cancer.
About Me:
When not in lab, I love spending time with family and friends. I also enjoy running, and reading. Most days after lab, you can find me hanging out with my cat, Chrissy.
