Danielle Minichino presented an oral defense of her thesis work on ERK signaling in dendritic cells and its control of the translatome. She did an outstanding job and the culmination of years of work in the lab has now concluded with her receipt of a PhD! We all are super proud of her, and are looking forward to seeing her work in publication so we can she her results with the world. We wish her the best of luck on her new adventures in her future career.
Congratulations to Danielle Minichino who has had her abstract selected as a Nominee for the Nezelof Award during the Presidential Symposium session during the upcoming Histiocyte Society Meeting on October 12th. Danielle has been doing some really exciting work examining the effect of BRAF mutations on translational dynamics within dendritic cells. We think this might lead to some novel ideas on the pathogenesis and treatment of Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis and are looking forward to Danielle presenting these ideas at the meeting.
