News About M-TRAM Students and Alumni

Nature

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.
