Jaron Lockett, a WSU School of Medicine PhD student in the Department of Pathology, recently received funding from the National Cancer Institute for a predoctoral training fellowship, entitled "Maspin as a Regulator of Protease Expression." The project, sponsored by Shijie Sheng, PhD, WSU associate professor of pathology, will focus on maspin protein's role in prostate cancer. The NIH fellowship provides three years of support toward Lockett obtaining his PhD.
