Graduate student
Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center

Caitlin James is a Ph.D. candidate at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center in Buffalo, New York. After earning her B.S. in Biology at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford, she began her thesis work at Roswell, which aims to identify molecular mechanisms by which chronic beta-adrenergic signaling impairs CD8 T-cell CD28 co-stimulatory signaling. She also studies how housing temperatures affect laboratory mouse T-cell biology.

James is a National Cancer Institute Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award F31 Fellow and T32 Trainee.
