Congratulations to former Biology major Alison O'Neill (C'11), whose research article titled, "Insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R) as a therapeutic target in Ewing sarcoma: lack of consistent up-regulation or recurrent mutation and a review of clinical trial literature," was recently accepted for publication in Sarcoma, an open-access journal dedicated to publishing papers covering all aspects of connective tissue oncology research. Dr. Jeffrey Toretsky, an associate professor at the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center, commended Alison and her team, saying the article "has important data that are not otherwise explicitly in the publishome."

Congratulations to Alison and her team!
