Four-month internship (Jan–Apr 2026) in the Hematology-Oncology Unit of the Cedars Cancer Center, McGill University Health Center. Coordinated Phase I–III trials in CAR-T, bispecific antibodies, and antibody-drug conjugates and led a retrospective patient-burden study in multiple myeloma.
Stem Cell Reports
Published
Hypoxia and loss of GCM1 expression prevent differentiation and contact inhibition in human trophoblast stem cells.
Under low oxygen, the GCM1 transcription factor is downregulated, and its loss blocks trophoblast differentiation and contact inhibition in human trophoblast stem cells.
