Match Day 2018: An Impressive Day for the School of Medicine Class of 2018
 In the early hours of March 16, the Medical Education Center lobby was deceptively quiet, empty of student activity-the calm before the storm known as Match Day 2018. By noon, the lobby was brimming with a boisterous crowd of 200 senior medical students, who were flanked by friends and family, as they opened envelopes that revealed their residency match results from the National Resident Matching Program. It was the largest match on record with almost 44,000 registered applicants and more than 33,000 positions offered. View the

Richard White, M.D., Ph.D., to Address 30th Annual Graduate Student Research Forum
 Physician-scientist, oncologist and self-proclaimed zebrafish-ologist,
Richard White, M.D., Ph.D., is set to give the keynote address at the 30th Annual Graduate Student Research Forum on Tuesday, March 20. Dr. White, who is head of the Richard White Lab at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, will present "What Do Fish Tell Us About Human Cancer?" His research focuses on cancer metastasis in a transparent strain of zebrafish they have dubbed "Casper." The transparent nature of the fish, as well as its ability to develop cancer in a manner similar to humans, has allowed unprecedented imaging of how tumors interact with their surrounding microenvironment and its properties allow for the investigation of thousands of potential drugs that could be used to treat metastasis in a way that cannot be done in other laboratory settings.
