Tiffany Tran received her B.S. in Physiological Sciences at UCLA in 2011. In the Rao Lab, she began as an undergraduate volunteer in the Fall of 2011 and is now working as a Staff Research Associate. Her research focuses on investigating the role of differentially expressed novel oncogenes in different types of B-cell lymphoma and leukemia. She hopes to continue to contribute to the field of oncology as a physician scientist in the future. In her spare time, Tiffany enjoys volunteering in UCLA UniCamp which combines her passion for mentoring underserved youth in Los Angeles with camping and hiking in the outdoor

MicroRNA-146a modulates B-cell oncogenesis by targeting Egr1
Published in Oncotarget
miR-146a is a NF-κB induced microRNA that serves as a feedback regulator of this critical pathway. In mice, deficiency of miR-146a results in hematolymphoid cancer at advanced ages as a consequence of constitutive NF-κB activity. In this study, we queried whether the deficiency of miR-146a contributes to B-cell oncogenesis. Combining miR-146a defic...
BALR-6 regulates cell growth and cell survival in B-lymphoblastic leukemia

Published in Molecular Cancer
Background A new class of non-coding RNAs, known as long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), has been recently described. These lncRNAs are implicated to play pivotal roles in various molecular processes, including development and oncogenesis. Gene expression profiling of human B-ALL samples showed differential lncRNA expression in samples with particular ...
