Will Feng

Research Fellow, Dr. Pasi Jänne's lab, Dana Farber Cancer Institute

My training through the PEMM program introduced me to a variety of different fields and helped me identify my passion for translational cancer research. PEMM provided me with a solid foundation of knowledge and skills that I can build upon for the rest of my career.  I now feel confident and ready to adapt to new challenges that may arise during my postdoctoral training and am excited to take this next step in life.
