Dr. Stefanie Mak, the CBR’s Education Program Manager, supervised co-op student Andy Hsu, who developed a variety of skills in science communication, project coordination, event planning and more as an Education Program Assistant. Under the supervision of Dr. Ed Conway, co-op student Emmanuel Garrovillas conducted a literature review on the CD248 gene and its role in cancer and chronic inflammatory diseases in the Conway Lab.
