Dr. Newman began work at the University of Michigan as the Edith Briskin Emerging Scholar in February 2010. She is excited about the future and looking forward to contributing to the field of pediatric oncology research with hopes of improving long-term survival in an often fatal disease of childhood. With this in mind, Dr. Newman plans to focus her efforts in the laboratory on the study of the development and differentiation of neural crest stem cells.

In addition, she plan to initiate studies to identify novel biomarkers that might serve as predictors of outcome as well as potential therapeutic targets. Read More… -
