Eva Rothenberger
Program: Biological and Biomedical Sciences
Lab: Karen Cichowski
Eva grew up in New Jersey and graduated from Boston College in 2021 with a bachelor’s degree in Biology and a minor in Ancient Civilizations. There, she investigated puncture resistance of fish scales and completed her senior thesis on this work. Following graduation, she pursued her interest in cancer biology and studied the resolution of inflammation in a range of cancer types as a research assistant at Beth Israel. This solidified her passion for cancer research and she is now a 3rd year PhD student in the BBS program. She joined the lab of Dr. Karen Cichowski and is focused on targeting therapeutic resistance in RAS pathway-driven melanoma.
Eva became involved in LCBC because she loves engaging with others interested in cancer research. She is excited to foster community in LCBC through event planning and serve as a resource to other graduate students as a peer mentor.
