Andrea Hernandez earns NIDCR supplement, forges her own way forward
Andrea Hernandez—a PhD student in the Immunology program—joined the lab of Simon Young, DDS, MD, PhD, because her interest in translational work led her to a passion in improving cancer immunotherapy strategies using biomaterials, a concept Young has been working on throughout his career. Soon after committing to the Young lab, Andrea was encouraged to apply for a National Institute of Dental Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) Supplement to Promote Diversity in Health-Related Research.
