This summer, we were delighted to once again be able to host a Summer Undergraduate Cancer Research Experience (SUCRE) summer research student. Shawn Sutherland is an undergraduate student at Syracuse University, and spent this summer working closely with graduate student Kapil Thapa to learn how to characterize microvascular density in tumor samples obtained from mouse and human. His work with us was recently highlighted by the Tulane Cancer Center on their social media. To capstone his summer research experience, Shawn successfully presented his work at the Louisiana Cancer Research Center’s SUCRE poster session!
