Fifth year Tri-Institutional MD-PhD student, Sanjee Baksh, has received an F31 award from the National Cancer Institute for his project entitled Dissecting the role of serine metabolism in tumor initiating stem cells.
Professor David Allis of The Rockefeller University was named as a recipient of a 2018 Albert Lasker Basic Medical Research Award alongside Professor Michael Grunstein of UCLA.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken to combat its spread, the MD-PhD program leadership was unable to bring undergraduates to the Tri-I campus for the summer. However, unwilling to cancel the program entirely, and dedicated to its mission of increasing the diversity of physician-scientists, Gateways leadership opted to create a version of the program that could be delivered remotely.
