Eric Zimmerman, a member of the Graves Lab, successfully defended his Ph.D. Thursday, March 24, 2011. The title of his thesis is “Lyn kinase regulation of microRNA and Mcl-1 in drug-resistant myelogenous leukemia.” A party was held afterward in 4007 GMB to celebrate.
Eric has a postdoc position waiting for him at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, TN in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences. He will begin his new position at St. Jude in early August.
Congratulations, Eric! We wish you the best in all your future endeavors!
