“Great presentations today at El-Deiry lab meeting Legorreta Cancer Center at Brown University by visiting summer Morehouse School of Medicine medical student Brian Baker, and visiting high school students Harshita Ganga from Ohio and Tanush Talekar from Pennsylvania.

Also pictured are their direct supervisors and mentors including Pathobiology Graduate Program at Brown University students Tyler Roady, Ashley Sanchez, Sevilla Uruchurtu, Ash Uruchurtu, Brown alum Connor Purcell, and Program Director for Cancer Biology Research Laboratories Dr. Navaraj Arunasalam.

It is always exciting to see our visiting students learn about cancer and benefit from the rich laboratory research environment here at Brown. They each made terrific presentations demonstrating mastery of the topics, technical skills learned, how their results lead to conclusions and future directions.”
