We participated in the Drug Discovery and Development Retreat organized by MUSC and USC. During the event, we had the opportunity to engage with numerous presentations on translational cancer research, including Dr. Sahin’s insightful talk on “From mechanism of resistance to drug discovery: Targeting the most aggressive breast cancers.” Members Read more…

Our postdoctoral researcher, Metin, has been awarded the prestigious Hollings Postdoctoral Fellowship —a well-deserved recognition of his outstanding work.

On November 4th, the Sahin Lab embarked on a remarkable journey, cycling 10 miles to raise awareness for cancer in LOWVELO. The ride exemplified the profound impact that collective action can have in spreading awareness and advancing the cancer research and support.
