Nicky Eleuteri
CAS ’18 PhD Student
I graduated from Boston University in 2018 with a degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Immediately after graduation, I worked as a research technician in Boston at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute for two years before moving to Nashville for graduate school at Vanderbilt University. As a graduate student, I am studying the regulatory mechanisms of the oncogenic transcription factor MYC and I hope to lay the foundation for cancer treatments that target this “undruggable” protein.
