Research Presentation:
“Computational Drug Sensitivity Predicts Tailored Therapy for Medulloblastoma Subgroups”
Speaker:
Anna Jermakowicz, PhD
Postdoctoral Associate
Ayad Lab, Georgetown Lombardi
Speaker Bio: Anna completed her PhD in Human Genetics and Genomics at University of Miami in the laboratories of Dr. Ayad and Dr. Schürer. Her graduate studies focused on developing synergistic combination drug therapies to target glioblastoma tumors based on the underlying gene expression of the tumor. Anna is continuing her work as a postdoctoral fellow in Dr. Ayad’s laboratory with a focus on identifying and targeting the genetic vulnerabilities of pediatric brain cancers.
