The American Association for Cancer Research has named Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center prostate cancer researcher Dr. Yiting Lim a NextGen Star. AACR’s NextGen Stars program aims to support the professional development of early-career scientists and increase their visibility at the society’s annual meeting, which is being held today through April 3 in Atlanta.
She will present her work April 1 at a NextGen Stars spotlight session.
Lim, a postdoctoral fellow in the Hsieh Lab, was recognized for her work charting the landscape of prostate cancer mutations in previously overlooked areas of our genetic code that regulate how genes are expressed and how proteins are produced.
