🧬 Cancer Research & Scientific Partnerships: Breaking Barriers in STEM

🎙️ Episode 11 of Season 6 is here!

This week on the Women In STEM Podcast, hosted by Kelly Shungu, we’re joined by two extraordinary scientists, whose groundbreaking research is shaping the future of cancer treatment:

🔬 Dr. Christina Towers – Principal Investigator at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, leading pioneering research into how cancer cells recycle their components (autophagy) to survive, to develop therapies that make them more vulnerable to treatment.

🧪 Dr. Dannielle Engle– Principal Investigator at the Salk Institute, focused on uncovering the biology of pancreatic cancer and developing earlier diagnostics and more effective treatments for this aggressive disease.
