How do our Molecular and Translational Biology program students unwind? Last week’s fall retreat: featuring science, of course, with a day full of powerful student and faculty flash talks, an inspiring keynote address by Distinguished Faculty Awardee Vihang Narkar, Professor at UTHealth Houston, along with kickball, basketball, barbeque, and a lot of laughs — all made possible by our student council: Stephen Farmer, Ester Lujan, Cara Biddle, Mirrah Bashir, and Sophia Huang! #WeAreGSBS! @MTBatGSBS

🥼 Researchers at the @KendraCarmonLab showed that cetuximab increased LGR5 protein levels and enhanced the efficacy of LGR5-targeted antibody-drug conjugates in several LGR5-expressing preclinical models of CRC.

What happens when two therapies join forces? In his recent research published in Cell Reports Medicine, Molecular and Translational Biology Program PhD student Peyton High explored whether combining treatments combatted colorectal cancer more effectively. 🔬 Guided by Kendra Carmon, PhD, his work is summarized by Cancer Biology student Amanda Warner in September’s Paper of the Month: loom.ly/C96CPlU #cancerresearch @MTBatGSBS @PeytonsPhD @KendraCarmonLab

Read how alumna Kendra Carmon, PhD ’08, now associate professor at the Graduate School, turned imagination into impact with the support of scholarships and fellowships to study cell communication and drug discovery. She works with students in her lab to develop therapies to target and destroy cancer cells.
Moving from a childhood dream of “mad scientist” experiments to cancer research, alumna Kendra Carmon, PhD ’08, now develops therapies to destroy cancer cells at @MDA_UTHGrad and @McGovernMed. Read how scholarships helped make her journey possible: go.uth.edu/KendraCarmon

Salk welcomed 10 future postdoctoral candidates to campus for the second annual Discover Symposium.
They present their research, connect with other Salk trainees, attend panels to learn more about the Institute, and network with potential Salk faculty advisors to facilitate mentor-mentee pairing opportunities across disciplines of biology, a format not typically found in traditional postdoctoral interview formats. They also had the opportunity to participate in the annual Salk Volleyball Tournament and successfully got their team to the championship finals!

Alumni Joan Jacob, PhD, shares how the impact of fellowship support helped to shape her journey at the Graduate School, leading to her postdoctoral research to improve immunotherapy treatments for children with cancer. #WeAreGSBS
After her niece was diagnosed with vitiligo, Joan Jacob, PhD ’24, was determined to find safer treatments. That passion led her to @MDA_UTHGrad, where a fellowship supported her growth. Now, she’s a postdoc advancing cancer immunotherapy for kids. go.uth.edu/JoanJacob

Proud of the three graduate students who presented their research at MD Anderson Cancer Center’s Research Town Hall today and answered questions about their important work to better understand brain and colorectal cancer, embryonic development and fertility challenges. Participating in opportunities like these is critical to the dialogue about your groundbreaking discoveries, the collaboration that’s possible, and the ongoing support needed for your work with your mentors. Thank you for your dedication to all that’s possible in biomedical science! #WeAreGSBS #biomedicalscience #cancerresearch @CarinHagberg @DianeBodurka @kmo1001001 @PeytonsPhD @hanbitbaek @MTBatGSBS
