Marin Bont, BA
Visiting medical student
Marin is a medical student in her final year at the University of Utrecht, the Netherlands, doing visiting research in the Rosenbluth lab. She is interested in developing biomarkers for breast cancer prevention.
Amirabbas Parizadeh, PhD
Postdoctoral fellow
Amirabbas received his PhD in Molecular and Cellular Biology of Diseases from the Medical University of Innsbruck where he studied actin dynamics and cell migration of breast cancer cells. In the Rosenbluth lab, he is conducting research to elucidate new therapeutic targets in triple-negative breast cancers and malignant effusions.
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 will use single-cell technologies to investigate pre-cancerous lesions in the human breast to understand how cancer risk factors such as aging contribute to tumorigenesis.
Jessica Lien
Undergradudate 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 in 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 helping to set up the breast organoid pipeline at UCSF in order to develop 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 Breast Oncology Program interns and clinical research coordinators including Chaelee Park, Sarah Choi, Lorraine Jiang, Michael Choi, and Cristian Maldonado Rodas, interested in patient-oriented breast cancer research. Also, Kingsley Chow, a graduate student working with Dr. van 't Veer to develop I-SPY breast cancer organoid models, and Anna Vertido, a surgery research fellow.
