Meet Anna Holland, a graduate of Shawnee Mission East who spent the 2024โ25 academic year in Dr. Ryan Barnesโ lab at The University of Kansas Cancer Center. With a passion for biomedical research, Anna spent her time learning about the complexities of genomic instability in cancer cells.
In March, Anna competed in the Greater Kansas City Science and Engineering Fair, where she earned one of just four grand prizes - out of 115 senior projects in the Chemistry division! That win took her to the prestigious Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair in Columbus, Ohio, where she joined 1,657 finalists from 62 countries. Competing in the Molecular Biology subcategory, Anna impressed a panel of nine judges and earned a $10,000 scholarship from Missouri University of Science and Technology, where sheโll begin her journey as a Biomedical Engineering major this fall.
Weโre proud to support and mentor the next generation of cancer researchers, and we canโt wait to see what Anna accomplishes next!
The Barnes Lab's first preprint is up :)

Yesterday, the NIH R35 โOutstanding Investigatorโ grant to fund scientists in my lab studying antibiotic resistance was terminated for reasons not related to the content of the science, or any actions taken by me or members of my lab
ALT A screenshot showing "Outstanding Investigator Grants"
ALT A screenshot of the termination notice with "This award is terminated effective the date of this award, due to unsafe antisemitic actions that suggest the institution lacks concern for the safety and wellbeing of Jewish students." highlighted
It's so fun being a scientist right now. Not only is our funding being gutted, but now even ordering supplies has a tariff surcharge. Thanks @SigmaAldrich can't wait to see how workday makes me justify that charge
Please join me in supporting a new travel award for @KUMCCancerBio students! Any donation is appreciated. Attending conferences is a critical part of academic success and in these crazy times, students need all the support we can offer! shorturl.at/jY4Ky
Please share this with your networks far and wide so we can support as many students as possible! @KUcancercenter @KUMedCenter @KUHospital @ResearchAtKU

Congratulations to our own Stefan Bossmann as he was selected as senior member of the National Academy of Inventors (NAI). The Cancer Biology professor and chair becomes the first KU Medical Center faculty to be granted this prestigious award.

The 2025/05 NIH Biochemical and Cellular Oncogenesis (BCO) study section meeting that was supposed to happen tomorrow has been rescheduled to a later date, to be determined. Just FYI. This is so disheartening.
