Shannon White
Postdoctoral Scholar, Genetics
BioHi, I'm Shannon White. I began my postdoctoral fellowship in Michael Snyder's lab in the fall of 2020. I received my PhD from Georgetown University in Tumor Biology in Chunling Yi's lab. My graduate worked explore the signaling and metabolic vulnerabilities of NF2-mutant tumors following YAP/TAZ depletion. My postdoctoral work is exploring the epigenetic hallmarks that contribute to colon cancer progression and drug resistance. I am developing colon organoids derived from pre-cancerous polyp tissue collected from Familial Adenomatous Polyposis patients as a model system to investigate epigenetic and signaling responses to chemoprevention treatments.

Wesley Williams
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsFirstly, a goal of mine is to fashion a novel scatter-based parameter for PET reconstruction algorithms to improve image resolution via determining a more detailed scatter/true ratio estimate via binning the photons that have scattered once, twice, and perhaps, many more times.
Secondly, AI drug discovery application towards radiotracers may quicken experimentation by determining the formulations worth trying. Moreover, it may be able to characterize efficacy (biodistribution) (self-update).
