Congratulations to Adiba Azad who got promoted to Assistant Professor at Mayo Clinic!

Congratulations to Claire who was awarded the CRI Irvington Postdoctoral Fellowship. Her research seeks to clarify how dietary factors, particularly high-fat and high-cholesterol diets, contribute to tumor growth and immune responses, potentially offering insights into cancer prevention and treatment through dietary interventions.

Room 632 is home to a bunch of wonderful female scientists from all corners of the globe.

Roisin Loftus was recently awarded the Irish Cancer Society 2019 biomedical research fellowship to advance obesity-associated cancer research in Ireland. Recent research from the Lynch lab has shown that obesity blocks the normal functions of Natural Killer cells, which may contribute to the increased risk of cancer in obesity. The focus of Roisin’s ICS fellowship is to investigate how the type of dietary fat we eat differentially shapes the metabolism and function of Natural Killer cells.

Roisin would like to thank the Irish Cancer Society for funding this important research and all the volunteers and supporters for their contributions to help raise awareness about obesity-associated cancers.
