2012

A New Year
We had the pleasure of hosting a French stagiaire in the laboratory and we wish her luck with her studies back in France.  An undergraduate has moved onward to a co-op position after helping set up the video microscopy and winning 1st place in oral presentation of his work.  The video microscopy technique provided insight into the number of cells in population that undergo checkpoint adaptation.  The current team is now working on applying new techniques to measure enzyme activity and DNA damage in treated cancer cells so that we can predict better the mechanisms that drive checkpoint adaptation.
