Posters for Fall 22 and Spring 23
Despite the website being down for half of this academic year, much progress was made on my project this year. Click the icon to read the posters for the WISRD Physiology Group this year, as well as posters from past years.

STEM as a 24/7 Role Play Game Room #202B Session ID: 489, Strand: 1, Grades: HS, Audience: E Wildwood School’s “role-play game,” Wildwood Institute for STEM Research, is a student-created and directed institute that makes students into scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and graphic artists who complete independent research, provide lectures, publish a journal, maintain a Web page, and present at conferences. Currently, there are three spinoffs from the research. Joe Wise, M.A., STEM Coordinator, Wildwood School Dylan Vecchione, Director, Wildwood School

Lecture
Dr. Shannon Mumenthaler Dr. Colin Flinders
Dr. Shannon Mumenthaler is an Assistant Professor of Research Medicine at the Keck School of Medicine of USC and the Lab Director for the Lawrence J. Ellison Institute for Transformative Medicine of USC and the USC Center for Applied Molecular Medicine. Shannon helps guide the scientific planning of the Institute, ensure the faculty have the tools they need for their research, and strategize the partnerships and goals of the Institute. Dr. Mumenthaler completed her BS in Genetics at UC Davis and earned a PhD in Cellular and Molecular Pathology at UCLA. She pursued this degree to work in translational research, where her work could impact patients, find cures and alleviate suffering. She applies a unique multidisciplinary approach toward her research program, partnering with mathematicians, clinicians and engineers to explore critical areas in cancer research. She is inspired by working with colleagues from diverse scientific backgrounds to think outside the box, devise new ways of approaching cancer, create new model systems, and push the limits of cancer research.
Dr. Colin Flinders is a postdoctoral scholar under the mentorship of Dr. Shannon Mumenthaler. Dr. Flinders earned his Bachelor of Arts from the University of California at Berkeley in Genetics and Genomics before continuing his studies at the University of California at Los Angeles where earned his doctoral degree in Biological Chemistry. His doctoral work focused on integrating multi-omic approaches including whole genome sequencing, gene expression microarrays, ChIP-seq, and quantitative peptide mass spectrometry to study drug resistance in Burkitt’s Lymphoma. Since moving to the Lawrence J. Ellison Institute for Transformative Medicine at USC Dr. Flinders’ research has centered on the tumor microenvironment in colorectal cancer with particular emphasis on how hypoxia effects tumor cell migration and metastasis.
