Markey Freudenburg-Puricelli, Abigail Schipper ’24, and Rachel Zhang ’21 will pursue graduate studies at Cambridge University in the U.K.

MIT researchers developed a technique to use a damage-suppressing protein called “Dsup” to help protect cancer patients from the side effects of radiation therapy. “Scientists, encouraged by this remarkable discovery, believe they can create an upgraded version of Dsup which can be used to radiation-proof human cells without any unwanted drawbacks. They also believe that the protein could be used by astronauts to prevent space-related radiation [damage].”
