Volunteer Needed

We are hoping to work with a volunteer in the community with graphic arts/communication experience.  The project is about 6 weeks long and may take 8-12 hours a week.  If you have time and interest, please contact Charles at keller (at) ohsu.edu.   with thanks, the Keller Lab team

 

Congratulations, Ken and Anu!

Congratulations to authors Ken and Anu whose manuscript describing the role of Protein Kinase C iota in rhabdomyosarcoma was accepted today to the journal, Oncogene.  Co-authors include lab alumni Laura and Sheila, UTHSCSA biostatistics collaborators Joel Michalek and Lee Ann Zarzabal, Mayo PKC biology collaborators Capella Weems and Alan Fields, and long-time sarcoma pathologist collaborator Brian Rubin at Cleveland Clinic.  This work was supported by by NIH/NCI grant 1R01CA133229-04 and -05 awarded to the Keller lab and NIH/NCI grant 4R01CA081436-13 and the V Foundation for Cancer Research awarded to Dr. Fields.
