Tori Duback Becomes a PhD Candidate

Congratulations to Tori Duback, ABNEL’s industry graduate student from Sana Biotechnology, on passing her thesis proposal!

Tori joined ABNEL back in the fall of 2022, and despite having her thesis topic changed part way into the program, she’s still managed to stay on track and make substantial progress in the lab. We look forward to seeing her continued work on developing an autologous CAR-T cell cancer therapy that’s generated in vivo, avoiding delays in patient treatment.
