It’s Postdoc Appreciation Week! Our amazing postdocs recently presented their groundbreaking cancer research at the Postdoc Research Showcase. We challenged them to explain their work in 10 words or less—harder than it sounds! We're so grateful for their dedication!

🎉 Excited to share part of my PhD work with @SteensmaLab is now published in @FrontCellDevBio 🧬

We showed that germline Nf1 mutation in rats disrupts mammary adipocyte differentiation & increases collagen deposition prior to breast cancer formation 🐁
