July 2019: We are delighted to welcome FOUR new members to the laboratory!
Dr. Tuulia Vallius, MD, PhD who has joined us as a postdoctoroal fellow and will be co-mentored by Dr. Peter Sorger in the Laboratory of Systems Pharmacology at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Vallius will use single cell mutliplex imaging technology to elucidate the tumor microenvironment in breast cancer. Welcome Dr. Vallius!
Ms. Janae Davis has joined us as a research technician. She will work on the development on tissue based multiplex imaging technology called cyclic immunofluorescence.
Mr. Jonathan Goldberg has joined us from MD Anderson Cancer Center. He has just completed his second year of medical school and will spend the next two years using single cell transcriptomics to reveal novel insights into the breast tumor microenvironment.
Ms. Madisson Oliwa has joined us as a research technician and she will utilize preclinical models of breast cancer to identify novel therapeutic targets for breast cancer therapy.

January 15, 2019 - Congratulations Dr. Mittendorf on your recent publication entitled: Fucosylation enhances the efficacy of adoptively transferred antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes in Clinical Cancer Research!
December 17, 2018 - We are delighted to welcome Kenechukwu Adigwe to the B-TIL as a research technician who will oversee processing of clinical samples! Welcome Kene!
September 29, 2018 - Congratulations Nathan Johnson on your publication in RNA on your work testing whether machine learning tools that use data about alternative splicing perform better than tools that rely on data about gene expression. The identification that alternative splicing data is better at classifying samples than genetic sequencing data is an incredibly important observation! Congratulations! Find press from the article here.
August 9, 2018 - Congratulations Emily Cheney on your beautiful publication on Dysregulation in Actin Cytoskeletal Organization Drives Increased Stiffness and Migratory Persistence in Polyploidal Giant Cancer Cells!
August 6, 2018 - Welcome Dr. Brett Gross! We are thrilled a T cell expert has joined our group!
June 5, 2018 - Welcome Emily Cheney! We are thrilled that Emily will join our laboratory as a research technician.
June 1, 2018 - Welcome to Dana-Farber/Labroatory of Systems Pharmacology Dr. Nathan Johnson. Nathan will be a key member of our laboratory and will support the computational needs of our projects. We are very excited to work with Dr. Johnson and his co-mentor, Dr. Peter Sorger.
