Young Researchers in Triple Negative Breast Cancer 2019
It's always an honor to go to University of Toledo's Pharmaceutical Science research lab and see first hand what they are working on and the progression of their studies. On July 3, 2019, Dr. Angelique treated me lunch on campus the day before she was about to leave UT for Boston where she will continue her career in pharmaceutical research and wishes to continue her research in Triple Negative Breast Cancer. Saloni of UT will continue researching drug resistance in Triple Negative Breast Cancer in Dr. Amit Tiwari's lab.
