Emily Aller ’21

Cancer research is a focus for Emily Aller, double major in Biology and Anthropology. “My work has the potential to inform development of new chemotherapies,” she says. She is building on the continuum of over 60 students mentored in the Barton lab in the study of how protein breakdown in cells leads to disease. Emily’s CREATE experience has included additional research at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center and presentations across the country.
