Last week, our LEAP Trainees took part in the LEAP Inaugural Mission Bay Bonfire, a teambuilding experience that we hope to repeat every year! The Lab Experience As Pathway to Graduate School (LEAP to Grad School) program is a one-year program designed to help recent college graduates gain lab experience, new skills, and professional development to increase their competitiveness for STEM PhD programs. The program provides mentored training in laboratory techniques and focuses on developing the participants' overall research career potential. It also aims to support individuals from historically marginalized groups in STEM by addressing the unique challenges they may face in pursuing a research career.

We are so proud of Kelly Kersten, PhD and Kevin Tharp, Ph.D. for their collaborative research in cancer immunotherapy! #breastcancer #immunotherapy
The Sanford Burnham Prebys Wellness Ambassadors hosted a Science Connect event on Wednesday, October 30, 2024, featuring two faculty experts discussing their breast cancer research and its implications.? The Science Connect Series provides a forum for Sanford Burnham Prebys principal investigators to share their research with administrative personnel. The immune system is one of the main defenses of the human body to fend off harmful pathogens and invasive cells, such as cancer. Kelly Kersten, PhD, wants to understand why immune cells called T cells enter a state known as exhaustion and lose their tumor-killing capacity. This knowledge will help her team find potential future therapies that could prevent T-cell exhaustion and improve immunotherapies for cancer patients. Kevin Tharp, Ph.D., presented his team’s work with the Kersten lab on another aspect of potential resistance to immunotherapy in breast cancer. Tharp and Kersten are studying the hypothesis that part of the reason why these therapies fail is due to tumor-associated fibrosis, the creation of a thick layer of fibrous collagen (like scar tissue) that acts as a barrier against the anti-tumor immune response.

?? Congratulations to Alicia Llorente Lope, PhD and Ambroise Manceau PhD for this amazing achievement ?? #cancerresearch #postdoc
Alicia Llorente Lope, PhD, and Ambroise Manceau, PhD, were awarded 2024 Postdoctoral Fellowships from the American Cancer Society. These prestigious awards provide more than $65,000 per year for up to three years to support early career scientists studying cancer. “I was so excited when I heard the news,” said Llorente. “It is a privilege to have this award, and it feels very validating to know that someone saw enough potential in my research to deem it worthy of funding.” Llorente’s fellowship project will tackle treatment resistance in a subtype of breast cancer, while Manceau will focus on powering down pancreatic cancer cells by starving them.?Read more: https://bit.ly/40bvetU #postdoctoralfellowship #cancerresearch #biomedicalresearch #breastcancer #pancreaticcancer #sandiego #lajolla #torreypines

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month This month promotes breast cancer awareness, education, screening, fundraising, and the importance of early detection and access to timely, high-quality care. It is also a time to honor those who have been treated for breast cancer or are living with metastatic breast cancer. Finally, it’s a moment to call attention to the fact that breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women in the U.S., with a woman diagnosed every 2 minutes. Join us in bringing awareness to breast cancer! #bcsm #BreastCancerAwareness Sources: https://lnkd.in/e8VK7K6e https://lnkd.in/evJiWXzc https://lnkd.in/gZwr7hnM
