Very proud of Sofia for successfully defending her Master’s thesis today!! She’s starting her PhD in biomedicine at UMiami next year. Can’t wait to see what she’ll accomplish! I’m a proud PI!

Congratulations to Sofia for graduating with her Masters degree! She the first Masters student to graduate from our lab! She did an impressive amount of work studying our new antiestrogens in breast cancer! She’s starting her PhD studies at UMiami in the fall, keep an eye on this rising star!

Come see Kristen Young present her poster at 9:00 this morning! She shows how inhibiting immunosuppressive paracrine signaling with an antiestrogen reinvigorates NK cells to improve anticancer activities in ER+ breast cancer cells! @kristen-young.bsky.social #AACR25

Our latest paper harnesses the power of estrogen receptor to discover new therapeutic vulnerabilities in breast cancer. Here, we reveal a new link between ER and DKK1, an immunosuppressive glycoprotein, in drug-resistant cells and show its clinical significance. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38978585/
Targeting Unique Ligand Binding Domain Structural Features Downregulates DKK1 in Y537S ESR1 Mutant Breast Cancer Cells - PubMed
Resistance to endocrine therapies remains a major clinical hurdle in breast cancer. Mutations to estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) arise after continued therapeutic pressure. Next generation selective est...
