Dr. Diana Murray Encourages Students to Consider Careers in Cancer Systems Biology

Diana Murray, Ph.D., is a CSBC Investigator and the Outreach Core Leader at the Center for Cancer Systems Therapeutics (CaST) of Columbia University.

Along with computational biology investigations, Dr. Murray helps public school and post-baccalaureate students learn about career paths in basic research. She wants to give young people the chance to experience scientific studies in a multi-disciplinary field that integrates diverse interests.

She likes studying science and riding a motorcycle for similar reasons: “Both tasks are challenging and require deep concentration.”
