Announcing Winners of the 2025 Marble Center Poster Symposium
On May 20, 2025, the MIT community participated in a poster symposium organized by the Marble Center for Cancer Nanomedicine to discuss nano- and precision-based approaches for the early detection and treatment of a variety of diseases, including cancer.
Fourteen research posters were selected for this event, representing 18 research investigators from various institutes and departments at MIT, the Koch Institute, the Broad Institute, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Scripps Research Institute, Dana–Farber/Harvard Cancer Center, the Ragon Institute, and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, among many others.
We are grateful for our wonderful panel of judges —Drs. Parthiban Rajasekaran (Sanofi), Liangliang Hao (Boston University), Megan Vierhout (Novartis Biomedical Research), and Allen Jiang (Broad Institute)—and the amazing group of scientists who presented at the event.
The winners of this year’s poster symposium are:
Kasturi Chakraborty, PhD from the Bhatia Lab for her poster on “Enhancing Circulating Tumor DNA Recovery and Liquid Biopsy Sensitivity with Precision Liposomal Priming Agents.”
Victoria Gomerdinger from the Hammond Lab for her poster on “Antigen Presenting Cell-Targeted Immunomodulatory Nanoparticle Therapy for Ovarian Cancer.”
Akash Gupta, PhD from the Anderson Lab for his poster on “Navigating the Chemical Landscape of Ionizable Lipids to Develop Ultrapotent mRNA Vaccines.”
Namita Nabar from the Hammond Lab for her poster on “Layered lipid nanoparticles for targeted CRISPR-Cas9 delivery to ovarian cancer.”
