Nora McGowan
Nora is from West Hartford, CT and graduated from Northeastern University with a B.S. in Cell and Molecular Biology. As an undergraduate, she worked in the Spring Laboratory at Northeastern researching photodynamic cancer therapies and interned at a biotechnology company on their immuno-oncology team. In the Beroukhim lab, Nora is evaluating the effects of frequent whole-chromosome-arm gains and losses on gliomas.
Fun fact: Nora and her two sisters are all red/green colorblind (it runs on both sides of her family).
