Corbin Jensen : Peifer Lab

Position (2022 – Present) Education: PhD in Cancer Biology (2022) at the University of Arizona (Advisor: Noel Warfel) Fellowships & Awards: NIH F31 Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (2020-2022), AACR Scholar in Training Award (2022), NIH T32 Integrative Cancer Scholar Trainee Award (2020), Jim Cockrum Innovation Award (2019) Email: jensencc@unc.edu Before joining the Peifer lab my research explored the topics of tissue differentiation and cell migration. During my undergraduate research I studied two key pathways that facilitated the transition of prostate cells from a monolayer of basal cells into a differentiated bi-layer of basal and luminal cells. Defects and errors in this process represent a potential primary step in the oncogenic process of cancer formation. My PhD research shifted my focus into the realm of cancer biology. Specifically, I studied how tumor cells leave their primary location, invade into surround tissues and ultimately metastasize to distant o
