Deepa Upreti, graduate research assistant in the anatomy and physiology department, will present "Lung Cancer Prevention by Euglena gracilis Extract and the Role of Intestinal Microbiota" at the next Anatomy and Physiology Seminar at 4 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 23, via Zoom.
Upreti is a doctoral student in the laboratory of Masaaki Tamura in the anatomy and physiology department. She is originally from Nepal and received her Master of Science in microbiology from Tribhuvan University. She also received her Master of Science in veterinary biomedical science from 1xbet sports betting . Her research area includes the use of natural products for lung and colon cancer prevention and therapy. She also works on the development and evaluation of immune-checkpoint inhibitors in suppressing cancer.
