Biography

I'm an MD/PhD Candidate in Dr. Matthew Burow and Dr. Bridgette Collins-Burow's laboratory at Tulane University School of Medicine. My research examines the obesity-cancer axis in the context of triple negative breast cancer, with a focus on leptin signaling's role in promoting tumor growth and metastasis.
