�������� doctoral candidate Pratyusha Ghanta became fascinated by cancer and how it works after earning her bachelor’s degree many years ago in her native India.  Five years ago when she enrolled in a program through �������� and Northeast Ohio Medical University she was excited to discover she could do cancer research here.   "When I joined Dr. [Moses] Oyewumi’s lab I asked him if I could get a project in cancer, any type of cancer,” Ghanta said. “I was ecstatic when he said that he does have a project in this specific field and that we can work on exploring...
