Adela
Solis
Summer Intern
2006, TGen
Adela Solis was
selected for a summer internship at the Translational Genomics Institute,
TGen, in the summer of 2006.
She joined the lab of Dr.
John Carpten where she screened for mutations in the CHUCK
(conserved-helix-loop-helix ubiquitous kinase) gene on pancreatic
cancer tissue samples. CHUCK - a gene potentially implicated
in pancreatic cancer - is activated by stress and involved in the nuclear
import pathway of cytokines and chemokines, proteins that mediate and
regulate immunity, inflamation, ad the production of blood cells (hematopoiesis).
Adela Solis will
complete her AA degree in the Summer of 2008. She works as a Certified
Pharmacy Technician at St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center
in Phoenix, a position that she has been holding since 2005, and to
which she accessed first as a volunteer, and later as an associate.
She will attend Pharmacy School in the Fall of 2008.
