Elena Cambria is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Biological Engineering at MIT, where she studies how the physical environment of tumors influences cancer growth and metastasis. By engineering realistic tissue and blood vessel models, her research
explores how mechanical forces affect the spread of cancer, with the long-term goal of developing more personalized and effective therapies. She is particularly excited about building vascularized lung models that mimic breathing, providing a powerful new
platform to study how tumor cells travel through the body and establish secondary tumors.</div>

Beyond her research, Elena is passionate about mentorship and teaching. She has mentored undergraduate, master's, and PhD students and completed MIT’s Kaufman Teaching Certificate Program, experiences that have shaped her vision of leading an inclusive and
supportive research group. Looking ahead, she hopes to establish her own laboratory, where she can combine innovative cancer research with mentoring the next generation of scientists.</div>

Keita Mori is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Chemistry at MIT, where he develops new chemical tools to improve the intracellular delivery of drugs and biomolecules. His research focuses on designing molecules that enable therapeutic compounds
to efficiently enter cells, with the long-term goal of overcoming one of the biggest challenges in modern drug development. By combining synthetic chemistry with chemical biology, Keita hopes to establish a general strategy for designing the next generation
of cell-permeable medicines.</div>

Beyond the lab, Keita values the interdisciplinary collaborations and global community at MIT, which have helped him grow as both a scientist and mentor. After stepping into an entirely new research field during his postdoc, he credits the guidance of his mentor,
Professor Ronald T. Raines, along with the support of his wife and the connections he built through the MIT Postdoctoral Association and International Scholars Office, for helping him navigate challenges and prepare for an independent research career in Japan.</div>
