Katie’s Paper was Accepted!
Congrats to Katie on her paper, Viral and host factors drive a type 1 Epstein-Barr virus spontaneous lytic phenotype, getting accepted with ASM’s mBio! Her paper focuses on EBV-associated endemic Burkitt Lymphoma cells that spontaneously enter the lytic state as opposed to remaining latent, and explores the mechanisms of why this occurs.

Lab Folks at the International Herpesvirus Workshop
Some of our lab members attended the International Herpesvirus Workshop in Montana, where they had the opportunity to hear great talks about current research on EBV and other herpesviruses like CMV, HSV, and KSHV. They also had a chance to explore Missoula, MT and took some great pictures. They even got to rock out to Read more about Lab Folks at the International Herpesvirus Workshop[…]
Lyla’s Paper was Accepted!
Congratulations to Lyla on her newly accepted paper to AACR’s Molecular Cancer Research entitled CBF-Beta Mitigates PI3K-Alpha–Specific Inhibitor Killing through PIM1 in PIK3CA-Mutant Gastric Cancer. This is great research highlighting the mechanisms of resistance to small molecule inhibitors in EBV-associated gastric cancer. Check out the paper here.
Congratulations to Dr. Stanland!
Congratulations to Dr. Lyla Stanland, who successfully defended her thesis titled EBV-Associated Gastric Cancer: From Initial Infection to Unique Therapeutic Approaches. Lyla will be doing exciting new work as the Associate Director of Oligo Therapeutics with EnFuego Therapeutics. Way to go Dr. Stanland!
