Chen Lossos is a rising senior pursuing a degree in biology with honors, concentrating in cellular and molecular biology. A native of Israel and current resident of Miami, his research pursuits include determining the nature of ongoing in vitro mutations in the immunoglobulin gene of Follicular Lymphoma Cells as surrogates of B-Cell antigen selection, analyzing the idiotypes of Follicular Lymphoma patients as surrogates of immunogenicity and clinical response to anti-idiotype vaccinations, and exploring the nature of somatic mutation in B-Cell derived malignancies. In the future, he hopes to pursue a joint MD/PhD Degree and advance his current research endeavors.
