Grace Rosner is a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow and a second-year MCB student in the Pointer Lab; the lab focuses on translational and preclinical approaches to overcome radiation resistance and toxicity in gliomas. Her project is dedicated to understanding the molecular nature of glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) and their importance in radiation resistance and recurrence in glioblastoma. Grace is originally from Nyack, New York, and graduated from Colorado College in 2022 with a double major in Molecular Biology and Classics and a minor in Philosophy. Outside the lab, Grace loves playing music on her ukulele, reading, and writing.
