episode 8: Ep. 8: Cancer and Aging - Interviewing Dr. Christin Burd
Today's guest is Dr. Christin Burd!
Dr. Christin Burd is an Associate Professor at Ohio State University, and a member of the Molecular Carcinogenesis and Chemoprevention Program at the OSUCCC – James, where her research focuses on improving our understanding of the connections between cancer and aging. We talk about her start in her chosen field, research, challenges and breakthroughs, and advice for people who want to get started in her field! Her areas of expertise include aging, genetically engineered mouse models, and melanoma.
Her lab is interested in the identification and dissection of genetic mechanisms involved in cancer and aging. Using molecular biology, biochemistry, cell culture, mouse models and human tissue samples they aim to promote healthy aging and aid in the prevention, detection and treatment of melanoma.
Her team’s goal is to bridge bench science and clinical trials. Recent work from her lab examines how aging of the immune system is impacted by different cancer therapies and may influence drug toxicity and patient outcomes.
She has developed several state-of-the-art genetically engineered models that allow scientists to track the formation and progression of spontaneous cancers and test melanoma prevention strategies. Additionally, she was the first in Ohio to receive a prestigious Damon Runyon-Rachleff Innovation Award. This award funds her ongoing research to develop new models and methods to combat tumors with a RAS gene mutation.
Her work is featured in numerous well-respected journals, including Cell, Nature Medicine, Cancer Discovery, Pigment Cell & Melanoma Research, and Molecular Cancer Research.
