About
The Texas A&M Regional Center of Excellence in Cancer invites you to enjoy a unique style of TREC Seminar. Hosted in Rudder Tower, Room #701, on Thursday, November 12, TREC will highlight our two Judge’s Choice award winners from the 4th Annual TREC “Advances in Cancer Research” Symposium poster session back in April.
Hasara Abeygunaratne (Texas A&M Dept. Cell Biology & Genetics) is a fourth-year Ph.D. Candidate in Medical Sciences at the Naresh K. Vashisht College of Medicine, Texas A&M University. Her doctoral research investigates how microglial NF-κB-inducing kinase (NIK) regulates glioblastoma progression. At this seminar, we look forward to hearing about her work on “Microglial NF-κB-Inducing Kinase (NIK) Promotes Male-Biased Glioblastoma Tumor Pathogenesis”.
Dr. Alfredo Erazo-Oliveras (Texas A&M Dept. Nutrition) is an Associate Research Scientist in the Program in Integrative Nutrition & Complex Diseases. His current research focuses on investigating the effects of key driver oncogenes and membrane active dietaries (MADs) on stem cell signaling/homeostasis and colorectal carcinogenesis. At this seminar, we look forward to hearing about his work on “A Greasy “Tug of War”: Plasma Membrane-Centric Novel Mechanisms Describing The Effects Of Diet On The Wnt Signaling Pathway, Stemness and Carcinogenesis”.
