In today’s busy and fast-paced world, Dr. Guillermo N. Armaiz-Pena is a researcher you want to pay attention to! Just yesterday we got to hear his insightful talk about the link between biopsychosocial factors e.g. anxiety, stress, loneliness, depression and their effects on cancer progression.

Last week we listened to Dr. Brenda Santiago’s talk exploring how calcium signaling shapes vertebrate development. Using zebrafish and single-cell sequencing, her research maps Ca2+ dependent genes that can give insight into human related diseases such as cancer, diabetes, autism and kidney disease.
