Our final 2024/25 Aitch Foundation Fellow is Annie Needs. Annie is working on her Chemical Engineering PhD, which she expects to complete in June 2027.

Under the direction of Advisor, Dr. Daniel Woldring, Annie’s research will focus on the performance antibodies ideal for early detection of pediatric cancers (e.g., neuroblastoma).

Annie's research was made possible by the contribution of Aitch Foundation partner MSUFCU. We thank MSUFCU for their generous support.

Adriana Ponton-Almodovar is from Ponce, Puerto Rico. She is an MSU Ph.D. Candidate, Doctorate in Pharmacology and Toxicology, College of Human Medicine.

Adriana is working on an exciting and novel project with important translational implications. She is examining the role of metabolic rewiring in ovarian cancer chemoresistance and how this is enhanced by adipocytes.

This amazing work would not be possible without our partnership with the Joe D. Pentecost Foundation.

Meet Aitch Fellow, Lucy XU. Lucy is a 4th year MD/PhD student in CHM and biomedical engineering.

Her research focuses on a dual treatment approach which could lead to a more effective, safer way to treat ovarian cancer or other metastasized cancers, improve survival rates, and enhance the quality of life for patients.
