Alex will study the Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway, which is abnormally activated in a number of cancers and has been shown to play a key role in immune responses to cancer. In the future, he hopes to enroll in an M.D./Ph.D. program to continue to conduct basic research to inform patient-centered therapies and also investigate how therapies can be better distributed to improve patient outcomes around the world. Aside from science,Alex’s interests include music, travel, golf, running, and writing.
