Dr. Acharyya's project will examine how ovarian tumors may activate stress-response pathways in the brain that subsequently promote cancer spread. Dr. Danino's project seeks to develop engineered probiotic bacteria that can selectively colonize ovarian tumors and deliver therapeutic molecules directly within the tumor microenvironment. 

In this year’s Life Sciences category, Dr. Vunjak-Novakovic was chosen for her scientific research in human tissue engineering as well as for inspiring future generations of women scientists.
