At Mason Lab, we proudly spotlight the exceptional contributions of our esteemed women postdoctoral researchers—Hashini Wanniarachchi, Tianyuan Wang, and Bushra Afzal. These trailblazers stand at the forefront of groundbreaking research, propelling the lab's relentless pursuit of scientific excellence.
Hashini Wanniarachchi recently shared her insights into the promising realm of cancer treatment during her presentation. She unveiled the potential long-term benefits of combining the Vascular Disrupting Agent (OXi8007) with Belzutifan (PT2977) in pre-clinical orthotopic kidney tumor models. Her work marks a significant advancement in our understanding of novel treatment combinations for kidney tumors.
Tianyuan Wang, a vital force in our lab, presented on her project focusing on Evaluating the Efficacy of Heme-Targeting Agents for Treating Small Cell Lung Cancer. Her research delves into the intricate landscape of cancer therapeutics, aiming to unlock new possibilities for personalized treatment approaches in small cell lung cancer.
Bushra Afzal took center stage with her enlightening presentation on Imaging Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) in mice using Multi-Spectral Optoacoustic Tomography (MSOT). Bushra's work not only advances our capabilities in disease imaging but also holds promise for enhanced diagnostic methodologies for peripheral artery disease.
As we journey through the ever-evolving landscape of scientific discovery, these women postdocs embody the spirit of Mason Lab — a relentless pursuit of knowledge, a commitment to excellence, and an unwavering belief in the transformative power of research. Their presentations not only showcase the richness of their projects but also embody the collaborative and innovative ethos of Mason Lab.
