Salk Professor Geoffrey Wahl and Assistant Professor Dannielle Engle, who trained in Wahl’s lab as a graduate student, described their journeys to become scientists and their approach to tackle one of the most difficult public health problems we face today: cancer. They offered a unique perspective behind the scenes of the mentor/mentee relationship essential to encourage young scientists and shared their work in identifying vulnerabilities in breast and pancreatic cancer.
