Kady Dennis
PhD Student, Cancer Biology Program
For her research, Kady focuses on the myeloma initiating cells present in minimal residual disease (MRD) after successful therapy such as CAR-T cells. She aims to understand how these residual cells escape treatment and lead to eventual disease relapse.
Kady comes to us from Penn State University where she received a B.S. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Her undergraduate thesis work examined the mechanism of action of the chemotherapeutic CX-5461. She also worked on a meta-analysis of clinical trials during COVID aimed at re-purposing already approved therapeutics.
Kady spends her free time in Colorado watching movies, reading, baking, exploring the city, and playing with her dog.
