- Madison Chandler, Graduate Research Assistant, College of Veterinary Medicine, Auburn University
Madison Chandler, an Auburn University graduate student and Vestavia Hills native, is taking her passion for others to the next level. As a doctoral pharmaceutical sciences student, she continuously works to identify mutations in certain cancer risk genes that cause Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. Throughout her time as a student, Chandler’s research has focused on fighting deadly disease, but more specifically, finding ways to fight cancer genetics, predominantly in African American women in Alabama. In August 2014, she began her Ph.D. in Pharmacology in the Department of Drug Discovery and Development at the Harrison School of Pharmacy. Her dissertation, under the supervision of Dr. Nancy Merner, aims to identify novel genetic risk factors that contribute towards breast cancer disparities - Flora Moss, Breast Cancer Survivor and Advocate
