Suthe’s abstract titled, “RON-Targeted Antibody-Drug Conjugate Therapy Ablates Cancer Stem Cells and Induces Long-Term Tumor Regressions in Preclinical Models of Triple Negative Breast Cancer,” was chosen by the Lone Star Regional Chapter of the Society of Toxicology (LSSOT) review committee for an oral presentation at the LSSOT Annual Fall Meeting: “Mechanisms of Toxicology” that took place Sept. 7 in Austin, Texas. LSSOT selected just nine abstracts from more than 35 submissions.
Suthe also was selected by the American Society for Investigative Pathology (ASIP) to present an abstract-driven short talk based upon the same titled research during the “Focus on Women’s Cancers” session of the 2018 Pathobiology for Investigators, Students, and Academicians (PISA). He will make that presentation Oct. 20-22 during the PISA “Molecular Mechanisms of Disease: Tissue Homeostasis, Immune Responses, and Cancer” conference in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Page was selected by the ASIP to receive a 2018 ASIP Experimental Pathologist-in-Graduate Training Merit Award. She will receive the honor, which includes a travel stipend, during the ASIP Awards Presentations Oct. 20-22 at the PISA meeting in Ann Arbor.
