Cody Coblentz
Research Assistant - Honorary Lab Member

Cody is a native Oregonian! ​Cody graduated from George Fox University with a Bachelor's of Science in Biology. As an undergraduate, Cody studied the function of P53 in breast cancer. Cody collaborated with us on projects relating to leukemia formation and progression, and we will always consider him a part of our “lab family." Cody's positive energy and enthusiasm for research made him a joy to work with. We miss having Cody in lab, but are incredibly proud to support him in his new career path as a nurse.
