Guillermo Burgos Barragan PhD
Research Focus: Metabolism and genomic instability in cancer.
Maira diTano PhD
Research Focus: I have joined the Cantley laboratory at Weill Cornell Medicine to pursue my interest in cancer metabolism. Here, I study pancreatic cancer, which is one of the deadliest tumor types. I am investigating how genetic and metabolic features of BRCA2-deficient pancreatic tumors may lead to vulnerabilities that can be therapeutically targeted and translated from bench to bedside.

Evan Noch M.D., Ph.D.
- Instructor, Department of Neurology
- Post-doctoral fellow
Research Focus: Evan Noch is Assistant Professor of Neurology within the Division of Neuro-oncology at Weill Cornell Medicine. His overall research focus is to leverage drug and dietary therapies for the treatment of glioblastoma. He discovered a novel mechanism of cysteine susceptibility and redox regulation in glioblastoma and uses FDA-approved drugs to target this pathway in mouse models of glioblastoma. He also works to enhance targeted therapies for glioblastoma by identifying and blocking mechanisms of resistance.
