Ribeiro Pereira Lab Life: Winter 2022

March 2022

Undergraduate student Zachary Fisher was selected to receive a Summer Undergraduate Research Award! Congratulations, Zach!

Our review “Antibody-PET of receptor tyrosine kinase interplay and heterogeneity” is online and is part of the special issue “Women in Radiopharmaceutical/Radiochemical Sciences.”

Thank you Cancer Research Foundation for funding our work on “Temporal control over endocytosis to convert cancer immunotherapy non-responders to responders”

Undergraduate student Abbey Zidel was selected as an MIR Summer Research participant for this summer! Congratulations, Abbey!

March 2022: Start day for Emma Brown, PhD, as a postdoctoral fellow.

Check out our just accepted publication on the use of antibody-PET to image EGFR-expressing orthotopic bladder tumors.

February 2022

February in the lab starts with our first PhD rotation students. Welcome, Sean and Rachel!

Patrícia M. Ribeiro Pereira, PhD, was featured on the Gerry Metastasis and Tumor Ecosystems Center website homepage as part of a “spotlight on past trainees.”

January 2022

Happy New Year!

Dr. Ribeiro Pereira gave two talks during the PET-RTRC Annual Workshop & Scientific Session. She presented two of the lab’s research topics on how we can use molecular imaging techniques to visualize biological processes of tumor resistance: “PET Imaging of the Inflammatory Tumor Microenvironment” and “Antibody Radiopharmaceuticals for Cancer Imaging and Therapy.”

Abbey Zidel and Zachary Fisher were accepted for the Bio 200/500 Undergraduate Independent Research course. Congrats to both of them!

November 2021

Our lab was awarded a 2022 American Cancer Society – Institutional Research Grant (ACS-IRG) for our newest project, “Clicking Antibodies on the Cell Surface to Reverse Drug Resistance in Cancer.”
