Congratulations to the newest Damon Runyon Quantitative Biology Fellows, three exceptional early-career scientists who are applying computational approaches to solve big questions in cancer biology!

Minsoo Kim, PhD, aims to identify biomarkers that distinguish breast tissue cells that become cancerous from their healthy counterparts, with the goal of finding better ways to detect breast cancer early and identify at-risk patients.

Sahana Kuthyar, PhD, is looking for better ways to predict and prevent serious lung infections in patients receiving immunosuppressive cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy.

Matthew Leventhal, PhD, is investigating differences between actively expressed and silenced X chromosomes in females, with the goal of identifying new X-linked oncogenes.
