Congratulations on the PhD, Dr. Tori Duback!
Tori’s terrific T cells targeted tumors so effectively that today she has earned herself a PhD and the title of “Doctor”.
Tori joined ABNEL back in the fall of 2022 as a Chemical Engineering Industry PhD student with Sana Biotechnology. While only at Northeastern for 2.5 years, Tori has made the most of her time. In addition to continuing her day job at Sana Biotechnology, Tori also managed to find time for her thesis work, getting engaged, and buying a house. Truly one of the most proliferative students to have graced our lab.
Finally finishing her work on targeted T cell therapeutics, Tori plans to continue her work on targeted T cell therapeutics…but only at Sana Biotechnology and with (hopefully) a bit more free time.
Congrats again on the PhD, Tori, and we hope to see you around!
Best of luck,
ABNEL
