Alexa Magstadt is an undergraduate student in Molecular, Cellular & Developmental Biology researching a new type of chemotherapy to treat colorectal cancer. The drug, MRTX1133, has previously been used for treatment of pancreatic cancers. Alexa's work uses live cancer cells in vitro to study the effects of the drug and how it can be optimized for use in patients. Alexa counts herself lucky to get to work with her mentor, Professor Dan Dixon, in Molecular Biosciences. Watch the video to hear more about their research.

Fostering Research Expansion in the Social Sciences & Humanities (FRESSH)
The FRESSH Program is designed to help scholars in the arts, social sciences, and humanities in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences apply for and obtain external funding for their research. The program will consist of workshops during the 2024-25 academic year during which scholars will work with invited guests and one another to develop a proposal suitable for submitting to an external funding agency such as the NEH, ACLS, NSF, or a foundation or residential fellowship program outside the University of Kansas. The program will introduce participants to resources internal to KU and facilitate the development of proposals. The program also aims to develop community and collaboration among participants. Deadline is Aug. 19, 2024.
