Haley Axelrod

Haley Axelrod is a dedicated graduate student in the Cellular and Molecular Medicine program at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. With a strong academic foundation from UC Irvine, where she earned her degree in Biological Sciences, Haley is now at the forefront of prostate cancer research. Her work focuses on unraveling the mechanisms of cancer cell dormancy within the bone marrow microenvironment, a critical area in understanding how disseminated prostate cancer cells remain dormant and what triggers their reactivation. This research has profound implications for advancing treatments and preventing metastasis in prostate cancer patients. Haley also contributes to educational efforts, such as the course Understanding Cancer Metastasis, sharing her expertise to help others delve into the complexities of cancer biology.
