I was born in Weymouth, MA and love being in Boston. I\u00a0 am very interested in researching cancer biology, specifically, how do our genes, environmental factors and hormones affect gene expression to create the onset of uncontrolled cell growth? \u00a0Some of my hobbies include ice skating and reading and am learning to crochet as well!

My name is Mackenzie Urbano and I was born and raised in the beautiful island of Guam! After completing my bachelor degrees in Biology and Chemistry at the University of Guam, I moved to Portland, OR where I currently reside. My current research interest are in drug development and discovery for cancers linked to substance abuse and it\u2019s cellular mechanisms. As for hobbies I enjoy dancing, makeup, traveling, going to concerts, and hiking! I am very excited to be a ACS DICR fellow at BU and to work with my peers and the faculty!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/ppb\/files\/2024\/06\/stu2-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-23157\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/ppb\/files\/2024\/06\/stu2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/ppb\/files\/2024\/06\/stu2-550x550.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/ppb\/files\/2024\/06\/stu2-710x710.jpg 710w, https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/ppb\/files\/2024\/06\/stu2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/ppb\/files\/2024\/06\/stu2-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/ppb\/files\/2024\/06\/stu2-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>My name is Theresa, but most of my friends call me Tess! I am super passionate about regenerative medicine and translational research, especially as it pertains to immunology. I just graduated from WPI, where I studied biomedical engineering with a focus in biomaterials. Outside of the lab, I love anything that has to do with coffee, plants, books, and art.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/ppb\/files\/2024\/06\/stu4-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-23134\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/ppb\/files\/2024\/06\/stu4-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/ppb\/files\/2024\/06\/stu4-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/ppb\/files\/2024\/06\/stu4.jpg 211w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>My name is Joyce Liang, I graduated from Boston University with a major in biology and a specialization in Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, and Genetics.
