CCR Milestones - 2021

Grégoire Altan-Bonnet, Ph.D. Grégoire Altan-Bonnet, Ph.D., has been awarded tenure at NIH and appointed to Senior Investigator in the Laboratory of Integrative Cancer Immunology. Dr. Altan-Bonnet and his team develop actionable models of the immune system and its response to cancer, with the goal of designing and optimizing new immunotherapies. Christina M. Annunziata, M.D., Ph.D. Christina M. Annunziata, M.D., Ph.D., has been awarded tenure at NIH and appointed to Senior Investigator in the Women’s Malignancies Branch. Dr. Annunziata translates bench research to clinical trials focusing on mechanisms underlying NF-kappaB mole- cular signal transduction in ovarian cancer. Erin L. Davies, Ph.D. Erin L. Davies, Ph.D., has joined the Cancer and Developmental Biology Laboratory as a Stadtman Tenure-Track Investigator. She is investigating the embryonic origin and regulation of adult pluripotent stem cells required for tissue maintenance, whole-body regeneration and reproduction in planarian flatworms. Thomas Gonatopoulos-Pournatzis, Ph.D. Thomas Gonatopoulos-Pournatzis, Ph.D., has joined the RNA Biology Laboratory as a Stadtman Tenure-Track Investigator and is a member of the NIH Distinguished Scholars Program. His lab utilizes functional genomics to uncover RNA regulatory mechanisms that underlie cell fate decisions and how disruption of these processes contribute to disease states. Christian S. Hinrichs, M.D. Christian S. Hinrichs, M.D., was awarded tenure at NIH and appointed to Senior Investiga- tor in the Genitourinary Malignancies Branch. Dr. Hinrichs discovered personalized cellular and gene therapies for HPV+ cancers and researched immunotherapy for HPV+ cancers including cervical, oropharyngeal, anal, vulvar, vaginal and penile malignancies.
