She got her Bachelor's degree in Wuhan University back in China, and then moved to another warm city, Atlanta, to pursue a PhD in Cancer Biology at Emory University. For her dissertation, she worked with her mentor Anna Marie Kenney to investigate the aberrant cell signaling in pediatric brain tumors medulloblastoma. She likes to play badminton, bike, or jog during her free time. She is also a big fan of board games; no gambling though! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0188e845776e9ce5d322b7/1707853625296-EGE2QIDASZN8PT8G35W8/image-asset.jpeg People - Make it stand out Mohamed Bakr https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0188e845776e9ce5d322b7/1707854874862-RQJ2GM4ZTX6LOM7ITKBN/image-asset.jpeg People - Make it stand out Alex Weissman https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0188e845776e9ce5d322b7/1550614875023-DPR1PNHXFF1PAFZS1T1C/00100lPORTRAIT_00100_BURST20190219171325164_COVER.jpg People Tiffany Eng Tiffany hails from the faraway lands of Middle Earth (a.k.a. New Zealand). In 2018, she graduated with a PhD from the University of Auckland, where she spent most of her time in a dark room imaging zebrafish embryos to elucidate the molecular mechanisms guiding lymphatic development. Now as a postdoc in the Langenau lab, she also spends hours in a dark room imaging zebrafish, but this time to uncover pathways that drive rhabdomyosarcoma progression and relapse. When she’s not holed up in the dark, Tiffany likes to occasionally spend her free time hiking up mountains or playing board games with friends, but more likely than not you’ll find her wrapped up in blankets at home watching TV, reading books or playing video games. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0188e845776e9ce5d322b7/1707854568739-WSTC0TIV7VAOLIXXIKTF/image-asset.jpeg People - Make it stand out Stephanie Strom https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0188e845776e9ce5d322b7/50e812e9-3fc9-46c4-a5d0-b615f974b28e/Untitled.jpg People - Make it stand out Mike Marconi https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0188e845776e9ce5d322b7/1707854654844-5X6I96PW2LD3HTTGJVLT/image-asset.jpeg People - Make it stand out Saby Mathavarajah https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0188e845776e9ce5d322b7/1707854617461-8FGH69PM7JBCVVE3TD8L/image-asset.jpeg People - Make it stand out Priyanshu Sharma https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0188e845776e9ce5d322b7/1582222170130-6S1OUVXMCMEU8K3ZLA6E/IMG_0666.jpeg People James Allen https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0188e845776e9ce5d322b7/da8f76e7-946d-41f4-bac7-ab6604bc5f16/unsplash-image-La2kOu2dmH4.jpg People - Make it stand out Yueyang Wang https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0188e845776e9ce5d322b7/1544454069439-091D3IQDHANF3VDB3U1B/DLan+Original.v3.jpg People Dave Langenau (PI) David received his B.S. and M.S. from the University of Notre Dame and his Ph.D. in Biology and Biomedical Sciences from Harvard Medical School in 2004.
