Congratulations to Talha Anwar, pre-doctoral graduate student in the Kleer lab on receiving a Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) Individual Predoctoral MD/PhD Fellowship (F30). This three year grant will support Talha's thesis project titled "Non-canonical functions of EZH2 in triple-negative breast cancers." His project investigates the mechanistic and functional contributions of EZH2, a protein found significantly elevated in triple-negative breast cancers, and focuses on the development of new prognostic indicators for aggressive TNBCs. Kudos to Talha!
