Daysha Ferrer-Torres, PhD
Cancer Biology Alum
I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow funded through the MICHR Postdoctoral Translational Scholars Program (PSTP). I received my BS from the University of Puerto Rico in Mayagüez and PhD from the University of Michigan in Cancer Biology. My previous work focused on the molecular characterization of esophageal adenocarcinomas with efforts on understanding racial disparities in this cancer’s incidence. Currently, in the Spence Lab, I am working towards developing an in vitro model of human esophagus using both primary human esophagus tissue and human pluripotent stem cells (HPSCS), with the future goal of studying tissue injury and esophagus cancer development.
