Lab Outing at Golden Gate Park - October 31, 2025
Current Lab Members
Chaelee Park
BOP Intern
Chaelee Park is an intern in the Breast Oncology Program and a premedical student interested in DCIS. She is coordinating clinical/translational research efforts in the Rosenbluth lab.
Sarah Choi
BOP intern
Sarah Choi is a BOP intern working in the lab to study therapeutic resistance and new combination therapies in triple-negative breast cancers.
Lorraine Jiang
BOP intern
Ruolin Lorraine Jiang is an intern in the BOP and a premedical student who is currently the clinical research coordinator of the DCIS RECAST platform clinical trial. She also works in the Rosenbluth lab to develop and test organoid models of breast cancer and DCIS.
Michael Choi
BOP intern
Michael Choi is a BOP intern who is leading multiple plastic surgery translational research efforts, while also developing normal organoids from breast tissues and coordinating clinical/translational research efforts in the Rosenbluth lab.
Jose Cedano, BS
Graduate Student
Jose Cedano is a Biomedical Sciences graduate student interested in organotypic model systems that incorporate the tissue microenvironment.
Kingsley Chow, BS
Graduate Student
Kingsley Chow is a Pharmaceutical Sciences and Pharmacogenomics graduate student working with Dr. Laura van 't Veer and Dr. Rosenbluth to develop HER2+ I-SPY2 organoid cultures for resistance modeling.
Nadine Goldhammer, PhD
Postdoctoral Fellow
Nadine received her PhD in Molecular Mechanisms of Disease from the University of Copenhagen, where she studied the cellular composition of the mammary gland. In the Rosenbluth lab, she uses single-cell technologies to investigate pre-cancerous lesions in the human breast to understand how cancer risk factors contribute to tumorigenesis.
Jessica Lien
Undergraduate Student
Jessica is an undergraduate and pre-medical student at UC Berkeley who is helping to develop drug-screening technology to identify new combination therapies for breast cancer patients.
Jayla Crawford, BS
Graduate Student
Jayla is a Pharmaceutical Sciences and Pharmacogenomics graduate student who is interested in novel immunotherapy combinations for metastatic breast cancer.
Shruti Warhadpande, MS
Lab Manager
Shruti Warhadpande received her Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering from The University of Texas and has expertise in developing point-of-care diagnostic tests, and is currently developing organoid-based assays of endocrine response and the breast tissue biobank.
Michael Bruck, BS
Specialist
Michael has previously worked with tissue samples and testing of new medical devices, and is developing the breast organoid pipeline at UCSF in order to generate new strategies for breast cancer prevention, and managing laboratory ordering and supplies.
Tam Binh Bui, MSc, MD
Graduate Student
Tam Binh Bui is a PhD student at Utrecht University, The Netherlands, and a visiting graduate student at UCSF working with Dr. Laura van ‘t Veer and Dr. Rosenbluth to study biomarker signatures predicting treatment response/resistance in early-stage breast cancer.
Joining our team part-time are UC Berkeley undergraduates Jamie Lynn Thu Phan, Arianna Zhu, and Emily Tuong Vi Huynh (bios coming soon!), and Anna Vertido, a surgery research fellow working with Dr. Laura Esserman.
