We’re thrilled to welcome two highly motivated undergraduate students – Tanvi Verma and Diya Patel, as the very first members of the lab! 🚀

We’re especially excited to have them contribute to both the lab setup and our research efforts as we get things rolling.

The Sohal Lab has been awarded an R03 grant from the National Cancer Institute to investigate how extracellular vesicles modulate the tumor immune microenvironment. This support empowers us to deepen our understanding of cellular communication in cancer and explore new avenues for therapeutic intervention.

We are grateful to the NCI for this opportunity and look forward to contributing meaningful insights to the cancer research community.
