Students and trainees representing numerous research fields came together April 23rd to share their research at the much anticipated annual ‘All Points West’ symposium at Yale’s West Campus. The event was the third in the series and the second year it has been held virtually.
This year’s symposium was spearheaded by West Campus trainees Josie Jacob-Dolan, Jennifer Troiano, Tayah Turocy, Sarah Ostresh, and Michael Grome, and featured flash talks from junior scholars from all seven of the Institutes at the campus, an alumni panel, and time for social networking.
Opening the symposium, Michael Crair, Vice Provost for Research with responsibility for West Campus, paid tribute to the “remarkable efforts” of the student organizers during this tumultuous year.

Understanding how cancer cells divide, grow, live and die has long been recognized as one of the greatest challenges of modern science.
Moving beyond traditional rules of logic, today’s scientists are combining different perspectives in a dynamic ‘systems’ view of complex cancer pathways – and towards the promise of improved patient outcomes.
One such partnership between Yale and Memorial Sloan Kettering, New York, has brought together experts traditionally seen as being on the opposite ends of the science spectrum – coupling knowledge of quantitative systems biology with the clinical setting to realize new discoveries in the way cancer cell networks mutate and resist treatment.
