As an undergraduate, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to make contributions to several published articles and abstracts (see below) during three consecutive internships (2001-2003) in the Carol E. Cass Lab at the University of Albertas Cross Cancer Institute. I owe so much to Dr. Cass and her talented group for their training and support during the time I spent there and beyond.
Special thanks also go out to Mark Vickers, PhD, Frank Visser, PhD and Jing Zhang, MD, PhD for their supervision of my projects, respectively.
My stipend support during this period was provided by AHFMR, to whom I am also indebted.
Check back soon- I fully expect to add to this list with our work from the Logsdon Lab!
