LSI welcomes new technician Sisa Mandi

Sisa grew up in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe and graduated from Brown University with a B.S. in Biology with an Immunology specialization. After graduation, she worked as a research technician under Dr. Adam Sperling at Brigham and Women’s Hospital/Harvard Medical School, where she studied the mechanisms of resistance to immunomodulatory drugs in Multiple Myeloma. Sisa is interested in developing safe, efficacious cancer therapies and believes immunotherapies are key in this endeavor. At LSI, she is working on early cancer detection and better immunotherapies. Outside of the lab Sisa enjoys reading, trying new recipes and hiking.
