SOAR Student Amanda Brown Publishes First-Author Paper in Cancers

We are proud to highlight SOAR student Amanda Brown on her first-author publication in Cancers. Her review article, “The Structure, Pathogenesis, and Inhibition of the p53-MDM2 Pathway,” explores the role of the p53-MDM2 pathway in cancer pathology and highlights its potential as a target for novel therapies.

This literature review has been a long time in the making, and I am very proud of how it turned out. I am especially thankful to my co-author, Xiaoying Lian, and Dr. Qian Wang for their help and guidance throughout this process. My experience working in Dr. Wang's lab as part of the SOAR program was very informative regarding the research process, something that will benefit me as I continue with my medical school education and beyond.
