Congratulations to Clarissa Garcia for her CU Cancer Center Pilot Grant " Investigating gene regulatory mechanisms associated with elevated B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia incidence in Hispanic/Latinos". Clarissa's graduate work aims to undercover why Latino individuals are more susceptible to ALL, and pin down the mechanisms of gene regulation that drive this disparity.

Work from Jesutomisin Olusoji has just been accepted for a Cancer League of Colorado research grant. This will explore the role of fatty acid uptake as a mediator of B-ALL chemoresistance, and whether we can target this pathway to improve leukemia killing!

In 2025, the lab received funding from the NIH/NCI 1R37CA295527-01 to determine fatty acid metabolism-based mechanisms human B-ALL survival during CAR-T therapy and establish fatty acid uptake inhibition as a potential strategy to improve CAR-T efficacy, reflecting the public health relevance of this project.
