Work from our lab by @JeanieTan10 featured in Washington Post and cover of Chicago Tribune. It highlights a partnership between our local Boys & Girls Club and UIC to engage middle school students in STEM careers via real biomedical research!.
When Camarria Williams, 13, stumbled upon goose poop in a neighborhood park, she enthusiastically scooped some up. She soon learned, with university researchers’ help, that her goose poop contained a cancer-fighting compound.
