Rural Roots to Lab Success: Ben Frisch's Journey in Cancer Research
Ben Frisch, a dedicated assistant professor at the University of Rochester, is making waves in the field of cancer research. Growing up on a dairy farm in rural Nunda, NY, Frisch has brought his unique perspective and strong work ethic to his current role, where he is designing a unique drug-delivery system for cancer at Wilmot Cancer Institute.
Frisch's journey began early, waking up at 5 a.m. daily to feed the cows before school. This instilled in him a robust work ethic that he carries to this day. His fascination with science, sparked by its 24/7 nature, led him to pursue a career in the field. Now, Frisch is part of a trio designing a novel drug-delivery system for cancer treatment.
Frisch's lab is currently working on a groundbreaking project: building a model of the human bone marrow on a microchip. This will allow him and his team to study leukemia cells and their treatments more effectively. His special interest lies in understanding the reciprocal impact of cancer on the bone marrow and vice versa. Frisch's mentors, Dr. John DiPersio and Dr. Mark Minden, have significantly influenced his approach to research. Despite his rural upbringing, Frisch has made significant strides in the world of bench science, focusing on leukemia and other blood diseases as an independent investigator.
Ben Frisch's unique background and dedication have led him to become a prominent figure in cancer research. His current work at the University of Rochester, focusing on leukemia and other blood diseases, is expected to yield significant advancements in the field. With his strong work ethic and innovative approach, Frisch continues to push the boundaries of scientific discovery.
