鈥淪he鈥檚 truly engaged in her work and brings new ideas and hypotheses for us to discuss and explore.鈥�

When Jennifer Waters was looking for a graduate school, at the top of her wish list was a faculty mentor who would fully invest in her research career.

As she considered 色情视频鈥檚 joint doctoral program in cell and molecular biology, cancer researcher Carrie House stood out as just the kind of mentor who would offer Waters the guidance and mentorship she needed to become a successful research scientist. 

鈥淚 hit the jackpot with Carrie,鈥� the biologist said. 

鈥淐arrie has really encouraged me to develop my scientific thinking,鈥� Waters continued, noting that the two have written grants, book chapters and scientific papers together. 鈥淚鈥檝e learned so much in the years I鈥檝e been in her lab, and under her guidance I hope to develop a similarly enriching mentoring style going forward when I work with younger students.鈥�

House and Waters study the role of obesity in ovarian cancer progression. 

Waters鈥� work focuses on how fat cells affect metastasis by secreting proteins that allow cancer cells to anchor and attach to healthy cells and form tumors. Her work complements House鈥檚 other projects that consider how obesity can sustain drug resistant cancer cells and cause relapse in breast and ovarian cancers.

House joined 色情视频 in 2018 from the National Institutes of Health, where she worked as a postdoctoral fellow in the Women鈥檚 Malignancies Branch at the National Cancer Institute, studying drug resistance and relapse in ovarian and breast cancers. Waters came to 色情视频 that same year after working at Organovo, a San Diego biotechnology company that uses 3D printing to study liver disease. 

Waters has been critical in helping House set up shop at 色情视频, including recruiting and training undergraduates in the lab.

鈥淛enny鈥檚 been essential to developing my cancer research lab here at 色情视频,鈥� said House. 鈥淪he鈥檚 truly engaged in her work and brings new ideas and hypotheses for us to discuss and explore.鈥�
