Collin Tokheim, a third-year BME PhD student in the lab of Dr. Rachel Karchin, associate professor of Biomedical Engineering and ICM core faculty member, has been awarded a National Research Service Award from the NIH’s National Cancer Institute for his proposal, “Integrative Approach for Predicting Cancer Driver Genes.” Collin’s research aims to develop an integrative machine learning method that leverages diverse features in cancer genomics to improve predictions of cancer driver genes. The fellowship will provide three years of funding for Collin’s thesis research.

Congratulations, Collin!
