John Dy, B.S., M.B.A
Summer Intern 2006, TGen

John Dy was selected for a summer internship at the Translational Genomics Institute, TGen, in the summer of 2006. He joined the lab of Dr. John Carpten where he screened for mutations in the CHUCK (conserved-helix-loop-helix ubiquitous kinase) gene on ovarian cancer tissue samples. CHUCK - a gene potentially implicated in ovarian and 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).

John Dy - a baccalaureate in Computer Sciences and Master in Business and Administration - completed pre-Pharmacy requisites at Phoenix College in 2007. He works as a Certified Pharmacy Technician in retail pharmacy and plans on starting Pharmacy School in 2008.
