📰 Sanford Research in the News

Dr. Steven Powell, Jenna Hove, and Craig Welbon were recently featured in a news story about how Sanford Research is bringing new cancer clinical trials to our region.

Their work is helping make cutting-edge treatments more accessible for patients close to home.

🔬 Microscopy Monday 🔬

This image shows mouse embryonic stem cells beginning to transform into neurons. The green highlights growing nerve fibers, while the blue shows cell DNA.

By studying how stem cells develop into neurons, researchers can better understand brain development and find new ways to treat neurological diseases or repair damage after injury.

✨ New Cancer Research Publication ✨

Congrats to Drs. Paola Vermeer and Anthony Restaino (former MD/PhD student at USD/Sanford Research) on their Science Signaling publication!

Their research identified that sensory nerves inside tumors can weaken the anti-tumor immune response by exhausting T cells and helping harmful, immune-suppressing cells move in. This means that blocking these nerves could be a new way to help the immune system fight cancer more effectively.

🔬 Microscopy Monday 🔬

This image shows nerve fibers (red) being drawn toward K2M7 osteosarcoma cells as they invade nearby bone tissue in a mouse hind limb. This interaction offers insight into how tumors can recruit nerve fibers—an area of research that may reveal new targets for cancer treatment.

🔬 Microscopy Monday 🔬

This image shows a section of the mouse hippocampus—a part of the brain that plays a key role in memory and learning. Fluorescent markers help highlight different features within the tissue: cell nuclei appear in blue, astrocytes in green, neurons in red, and a specific protein called CLN3 in the far-red channel.

Together, these details reveal the complex structure of brain cells and how they are organized within this critical region.

🔬 🔬

These glowing shapes are mouse stem cells starting to become neurons—just two days into the process!

🧠 Magenta shows early neuron structures, and cyan marks the DNA inside each cell.

🧠 Microscopy Monday 🧠

What you're seeing here are human neurons grown in a dish from reprogrammed stem cells! 🧬

The glowing green shows a neuron-specific protein (β-III tubulin), and the blue marks each cell’s nucleus. Images like this help researchers study brain function and test new drugs in the lab.

🎉 Congratulations to Valentina! 🎉

Valentina has officially earned her Clinical Research Coordinator (CRC) Program Certification—a major milestone in her professional journey in clinical research!
While working as a Research Specialist, Valentina realized she was taking on coordinator responsibilities without fully understanding the scope of the role. That curiosity and drive led her to apply for the CRC program—a rigorous curse covering research design, ethics, operations, and more. With the help of a scholarship and a lot of determination, she completed the program while juggling work and family.

💬 “Today, I can confidently say that I am a professional with both knowledge and experience… Completing the program not only expanded my expertise but also helped me believe in myself.”

👏 Join us in celebrating Valentina’s achievement and her bright future in clinical research!
