Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Alice Soragni. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Alice Soragni is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center and a member of the Molecular Biology Institute. Her research primarily revolves around protein aggregation and its impact on cancer development and progression, with a particular emphasis on the aggregation of the p53 protein. Dr. Soragni's lab is engaged in exploiting protein aggregation as a therapeutic target by designing peptides that can interfere with the aggregation process. In parallel, her research team is focused on developing clinically-relevant organoid models in cancer biology for drug discovery and development applications. This includes the establishment of patient-derived tumor organoids from surgical specimens, enabling high-throughput drug screenings to individualize cancer therapy for patients. She has several highlighted publications, reflecting her contributions to the field of cancer research and personalized medicine.
