The Sipkins Lab was chosen to present at the 2024 Invented at Duke Showcase, a networking event in which researchers were able to present their work to venture capitalists and other investors, for the purpose of promoting collaboration and advancing research projects forward. Our lab was one of nine groups selected to showcase; Dr. Sipkins presented our innovative work and the recent Science paper!
Congratulations to Danhui Ma for presenting at the Society for NeuroOncology / American Society of Clinical Oncology (SNO/ASCO) CNS Metastases Conference in Denver, Colorado! Her poster, titled “Identification of the GDNF: NCAM signaling axis as a novel target against breast cancer leptomeningeal metastasis,” outlined the work discussed in the lab’s recently published paper in Science.
Congratulations to the entire lab for their recently published paper in June of 2024! A special shout out goes out to Danhui Ma for bringing this work across the finish line. Titled “Breast cancer exploits neural signaling pathways for bone-to-meninges metastasis,” the project was based on several years of research and collaboration, and was published in Science!
Congratulations to Dr. Andy Whiteley on successfully defending his dissertation in April 2023. Titled “The Circuitous Journey of Cancer Cells to the Leptomeninges,” his talk is representative of all of his hard work from these past years. We’re excited for all that he’ll achieve as he moves onto the next leg of his journey in San Diego!
