Massive congratulations to HLA Scholar Ifan Jenkin for receiving the Fulbright All Disciplines Postgraduate Award for a Master's of Science in Translational Research and Applied Medicine at Stanford University!
Ifan Jenkin (M-TRAM 2024/25)
Frank Lin, MS, M-TRAM Graduate '23, contributes to breakthrough cancer treatment research: his M-TRAM Capstone Project mentored by Professor Crystal Mackall culminates in high-impact Nature paper.
The study, which was a culmination of Frank's capstone research for M-TRAM, demonstrated a novel approach to cancer therapy by combining antibodies with T cells. By engineering a variant of the CD47 protein, which usually signals immune cells not to attack healthy tissue, researchers enhanced the immune system's ability to target cancer cells. This breakthrough could pave the way for more effective cancer treatments, leveraging the body's own defenses to combat tumors with greater precision and potency.

Nobel Laureate and Stanford Professor Carolyn Bertozzi Ph.D. gave the keynote and her congratulations to Julian. The aim of the M-TRAM Program is to give graduates the tools to
'Disease accelerates aging': Stanford researchers develop an AI-driven aging clock for eyes
Using eye fluid samples from liquid biopsies, Stanford researchers created a protein-cell map connecting 6,000 eye proteins back to their cellular origins, 26 of which were incorporated into an AI model to predict a patient’s age.
