President
Lowell Finster
Hi, I’m Lowell! I’m a senior majoring in Biochemistry through the Department of Biology. In addition to my own research, being a part of CRC has given me the opportunity to learn about cancer at a deeper level and has exposed me to the cutting-edge research that physicians and scientists are doing right now.

Hi, I’m Char! I’m in the class of 2027 majoring in Biology with a concentration in Biochemistry. I am currently involved in Glioblastoma research. I’m hoping to pursue a career in cancer research and being a part of CRC has allowed me to deepen my understanding of complex cancer biology and potential therapeutics. I’m excited to share my passion with new people and create opportunities for high schoolers to get involved in cancer research!
Research Chair
Andrew Yates
Hey, I’m Andrew—a current sophomore from Springfield, MO! I’m majoring in Chemistry (BioChem) and Biology (Comp Bio/Genomics), and I work in Dr. Carl DeSelm’s lab studying dendritic cell interactions in cancer cells. I’m a bit on the quieter end, but I love to talk once I know people—ask away if you have any questions about summer research or need other general help!
PR Chair
Ryan Williamson
Hey! My name is Ryan and I’m a sophomore studying biochemistry and music. I am thoroughly interested in pursuing a career in research and I am part of a WUSM lab that studies multiple sclerosis. CRC has given me a valuable perspective on research and medicine as a whole, which has only grown my interest in the field.
