Jeran with mentors, Jen Jen Yeh (L) and Channing Der (R).
Jeran Stratford, a member of Jen Jen Yeh and Channing Der’s labs received his PhD after successfully defending his thesis July 3, 2014. The title of his thesis was “Aberrant gene expression: diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets for pancreatic cancer.”
Jeran’s mom flew all the way from Logan, Utah to attend his defense. A party was held afterward in Lineberger with his family and the Der and Yeh lab members.
Jeran will start a M.S. program in Biostatistics at UNC in The School of Public Health in August. Congratulations Jeran!
Jeran with his wife, Mindy, and mother, Jan
