Hi everyone 👋🏾!

I’m a Bioinformatician 👩🏾‍💻 in a Cancer Genomics lab The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and I primarily work with the pediatric precision medicine program based out of my lab aimed at integrating NGS into clinical oncology care.

How it started vs How it’s going:

1. Volunteer in a hospital lab back home during my gap year
2. Poster presentation of my summer research
3. Undergrad thesis presentation
4. Placed on my department’s Gold Medals list for that thesis work

Hey y’all! I’m Tumie & there’s two sides to me😌

There’s Tumie N., PhD the PhD student working on all things exosomes for the breast cancer liquid biopsy🧬

Then there’s part time peng ting. the lifestyle + science youtuber 🎥🥰 #BICRollColl #BlackInCancerWeek #BlackInCancerRollCall

Super late to the party, but 👋🏾 I’m Tiffany King, Postdoc in the PoseyLab at UPenn. I develop CAR-T cells that target cancer-specific glycoepitopes and the TME for the treatment of metastatic prostate cancer, and other solid tumors! #BICRollCall #BlackinCancerWeek BlackinCancer

#BICRollCall and I am in attendance! My name is Krystle Osby and I am a 4th year PhD candidate at University of Utah. I work in Huntsman Cancer Institute studying B-catenin’s relationship to estrogen signaling in endometrial cancer. Thank you #BlackInCancerWeek for the platform to showcase our talent!

Im a 2nd yr PhD student in the lab of Todd Ridky at U of Penn Penn BGS where we focus on identifying biological drivers of cancer disparities. Outside of lab, I play basketball, bike, and mentor youth. Thank you BlackinCancer ! #BICRollCall
