About Me
Aria completed her PhD in the lab of Dr. Robert Doebele at the University of Colorado Denver Anschutz Medical Campus on oncogenic fusion kinases in lung cancer in 2017. Upon joining the McMahon Lab, Aria has been researching novel signaling mechanisms, targeted therapeutic approaches and minimal residual disease, as well as the molecular mechanisms underlying tumor progression in mouse models of both pancreatic and lung cancer. Her personal interests include running, hiking, snowboarding, and cooking. She has been funded by the National Cancer Institute through both F32 and an early K99 fellowship, as well as HCI’s internal Susan Cooper Jones Endowed Fellowship in Cancer Research.
