School of Medicine Students
Joanna Dong
Joanna’s work focused on elucidating the H2A.Z-mediated regulation and pathogenesis of melanoma. H2A.Z is a histone variant with many interactors, including histone chaperone complexes and transcriptional regulators, with translational potential in melanoma pharmacotherapeutic development. She used loss-of-function screens and co-immunoprecipitation studies to establish the functional roles of these H2A.Z interactors in melanoma cells.

Zulekha Qadeer, PhD
Zulekha is a postdoctoral scholar in the William A. Weiss Laboratory at the University of California San Francisco. Zulekha is investigating the mechanisms of known driving events to promote medulloblastoma utilizing a unique humanized model based on differentiation and transformation of human induced pluripotent stem cells.
Zulekha was supported by: Department of Defense Peer Reviewed Cancer Research Program Horizon Award (2016-2017)
Saul Carcamo, PhD
During his PhD studies in the lab, Saul gained a passion for bioinformatic analyses focused on the epigenome. He is now a Bioinformatician at the Bioinformatics for Next Generation Sequencing (BiNGS) core of the Tisch Cancer Institute at Mount Sinai: https://bings.mssm.edu/
