Congratulations to Fatima Alghoul (Lee Lab) who has received the 2022 AACR-Mirati Cancer Chemical Biology Research Fellowship.

Dr. Alghoul obtained her PhD from the University of Strasbourg, France. Her research has elucidated the mechanisms by which translation of Hox mRNAs is regulated during embryonic development by Translation Inhibitory Elements. Dr. Alghoul is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School. Her current research focuses on the development of an innovative technology to capture mRNAs with metabolite cap structures.

The AACR-Mirati Cancer Chemical Biology Research Fellowship represents a joint effort to encourage and support postdoctoral or clinical research fellow to conduct chemical biology research directed at developing novel approaches to targeting the difficult-to-drug cancer drivers and to establish a successful career path in this field.
