Here is a look at the research of some of the incoming and continuing PhD students from the our department who received competitive fellowships from The Duke Graduate School for the 2022-2023 academic year.
Kerry Dillon
Molecular Cancer Biology
Chancellor's Scholarship
I am currently a rotating student, but at this time I am interested in investigating development and maintenance of therapeutic resistance, using unbiased screening approaches to explore potential collateral sensitivities shared across different resistance mechanisms.
Tatiana Prioleau
Molecular Cancer Biology
Dean's Graduate Fellowship
I joined the molecular cancer biology Ph.D. program at Duke because I want to study tumor resistance to current therapies. In most cases, patients are diagnosed with cancer when cancer has already reached advanced stages. My goal is to understand the molecular mechanisms of how advanced tumors evade current therapies and spread to distant sites to develop better therapeutic strategies that will improve patient survival outcomes.
