Congratulations to Sunandan Chakrabarti from my lab for winning a Travel Award for his abstract and oral presentation at the @StressCell Symposium on HSPs in Biology, Medicine & the Environment this past week in Syracuse, NY. Thanks to the organizers for recognizing his work!
Happy to announce our lab was awarded a Core Pilot Grant from the @IndianaCTSI to assess some epigenetic changes associated with HDAC inhibitors in ovarian cancers. Big congratulations to Matt O'Malley in my lab that put in a lot of effort to help write and submit this proposal.

We've known that Covid increases the risk in survivors of cancer, but today @Nature a mechanism of reactivation of cancer cells elucidated in the experimental model

A really good review on the biology of HSFs was just published by @sistonheat and Eva Henriksson and colleagues. Highly recommend checking this one out:

This year’s Cancer Research Day brought together passionate minds from across Indiana—with 173 abstracts submitted.
From posters to presentations, our signature research event highlighted the innovative work driving cancer research forward. #ResearchCuresCancer

While the WNBA’s brightest stars gear up for game day, another kind of team is making big moves behind the scenes.
All-Star Cure, led by the @IUCancerCenter's Komen Tissue Bank and supported by the WNBA All-Star 2025 Host Committee, is an event that brings together science, sport, and community for a powerful purpose: fighting breast cancer.
During this two-day event, up to 500 women will be able to donate healthy breast tissue — helping researchers better understand the disease and close gaps in breast cancer representation and research.
This is what partnership for progress looks like. 💪 Learn more at bit.ly/43a0fOD.

Had a good time at #AACR2025. Several students presented and got to hang out with some former lab members.
We are very happy that our R01 from @theNCI was officially awarded last week! This award is based on our recent work involving HSF1 in breast cancer. A huge thank you and congrats to all of our lab members that did so much good work to get us to this point.
Congratulations to Haddie DeHart for winning People’s Choice Award in the 3 Minute Thesis Competition!
