The Novina lab would like to congratulate Cailin Joyce, PhD on her new position as a Scientific Writer at Agenus. She played a critical role in the Novina Lab since 2012 as our Instructor of Medicine. Although we will miss Cailin dearly, please join us in wishing her good luck in her future endeavors! 

We would like to welcome Ribal Bassil MD, joining the Novina Lab as faculty. Ribal is a neurologist currently completing a neurocritical care fellowship at the Massachusetts General Hospital and the Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH). Prior to his neurology training, Ribal completed a postdoctoral research fellowship in neuroimmunology at BWH, studying the role of the Notch signaling pathway in T-cell differentiation and function in an animal model of multiple sclerosis. Ribal will be working on identifying unique tumor antigens and developing chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells against primary brain tumors at the Novina Lab.
