Mandy TruelockTimothy Cover Lab During my thesis studies, I am looking forward to exploring the antagonistic link between two secreted Helicobacter pylori virulence factors, CagA and VacA, and the way that they are able to manipulate host cell functions, such as metabolism and mounting immune responses.

Elysa WolfAlyssa Hasty Lab My project aims to study the role of macrophage iron-handling in the context of the tumor microenvironment. Depending on their polarization, tumor associate macrophages (TAMs) can either be pro-inflammatory and sequester iron or anti-inflammatory and recycle iron. My goal is to explore how supply of iron from macrophages impacts tumor cell phenotype and tumor growth. |
