Lee/Oesterreich lab was well represented at the 2022 ILC Symposium in June 2022 in Utrecht, Netherlands. Excellent presentations (oral and poster) from Neil and Laura. And we had fun, too!
Kai Ding was awarded his Ph.D. after defending his dissertation “Multi-omics profiling of breast cancer metastases to identify drivers and mechanisms of endocrine resistance for precision medicine”
The Lee/Oesterreich lab walked as the “Steel City Research Warriors” team in the 2022 Komen West Pennsylvania “More Than Pink” Walk.
Some of the Lee/Oesterreich lab toured our new lab space in the Ford Building to plan how we will set up the lab when we move this summer. The new building in Shadyside, where Model-T Ford cars used to be assembled, will allow closer integration with other research teams at the UPMC Hillman Cancer Center as well as offering an efficient and sleek design.
