Three Students Admitted to MSTP Program
Adrienne and Lauren Smith (M4s) and Andrew Gordon (M2) have been accepted to the Medical Scientist Training Program (MD/ PhD). MSTP prepares students for careers that combine biomedical investigation and the practice of medicine through an integrated 7 or 8 year curriculum. Adrienne will complete her PhD training through a partnership between Feinberg School of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Her research evaluates the susceptibility of pediatric solid tumors to chimeric antigen receptor based immuno-therapies. Lauren’s research focuses on developing new methods for using electromyography signals to control powered upper limb prostheses. She will complete her PhD training at the Center for Bionic Medicine at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago. Andrew will explore MRI-guided magnetic hyperthermia for sensitizing hepatocellular carcinoma in arterial radioembolization therapies. His PhD training will be completed within the Department of Radiology. |
