Virtual Poster Session

Please see below for a list of all poster presentations that were submitted for the 21st Annual VICC Scientific Retreat. The three winning poster presentations were:

  1. Chi Yan, PhD – "Rigosertib turns up the heat on melanoma cells to enhance response to immune checkpoint inhibitors"
  2. Portia L. Thomas – "Multiplex immunohistochemistry reveals a lymphocytic immune signature associated with longer overall survival in small cell lung cancer patients"
  3. Susu Zhang – "PAX3-FOXO1 contributes to aRMS tumorgenesis through transcriptional activation of its targets to inhibit myogenic differentiation"
