Julia and Sarah attended the 2019 American Society of Hematology Meeting in Orlando, Florida.

Dr. Carratt presented her research modulation of Ras-driven oncogenesis by mutations in SETBP1, for which she won an ASH abstract achievement award! 

Dr. Maxson presented on myeloid lineage enhancers and a novel therapeutic target for CSF3R/CEBPA-mutant AML at the Myeloid Workshop.

Congratulations to Dr. Maxson, who has been named ​a Lamfrom Laureate!

The Knight Cancer Institute established the Hildegard Lamfrom Research Scholar Awards to support promising early-stage cancer researchers at OHSU.

July 2019


The Maxson Lab, along with other investigators from the Knight Cancer Institute, traveled to Colorado for the FASEB Hematologic Malignancies Conference.

We spent six days immersed in scientific discussion, and Sarah presented her postdoctoral research for the first time.

We also took time to enjoy the beautiful mountain venue. Julia went hiking at the iconic Maroon Bells, and Sarah and Bree went white water river rafting!

Huge congrats to Sarah, who has been awarded an NRSA fellowship!

​Sarah made a big field shift when she joined the Maxson lab, quickly picked up new techniques, gathered lots of preliminary data and wrote a beautiful grant in her first 10 months that was funded on first submission!

We are so excited to welcome our first graduate student to the Maxson lab. Breanna has a B.S. in Chemistry from the University of Alaska Anchorage, and is currently a Ph.D. student in the Cancer Biology Program at OHSU.

WELCOME, BREANNA!

Amy & Julia attended the FASEB Hematological Malignancies Conference in Vermont and took a dip in the Saxton River to cool off.











Amy even befriended the only other native "Mainer" at the conference, Kira, so they could compete in a lobster shucking contest.
