TUESDAY NOVEMBER 9th at 6:30 pm in BYERS HALL (MB) room #212.
Pam Cheung currently works at Carl Zeiss MicroImaging as a Laser Capture Specialist for the west coast.
Info about Pam:
She did her undergraduate and graduate at University of Toronto, Canada, has an Hon.B.Sc. in Molecular Genetics and Microbiology, and a PhD in Molecular and Medical Genetics. Her thesis research was on Mgat5, a glycosyltransferase that is important for cancer progression and metastasis. By crossing the Mgat5 knockout mouseline with the PTEN knockout mouseline as well as the MMTV-PyMT transgenic mouseline, she was able to demonstrate a suppression of tumor growth. Using both primary cell lines and tumor cell lines generated from the crosses, she performed in vitro studies of cellular signalling using high content fluorescence microscopy. She was recruited by Carl Zeiss MicroImaging during this time, and after graduation, accepted the position of Laser Capture Specialist for the West Coast.
