After Personal Loss Researcher Studies Underpinnings of Breast Cancer, Multiple Myeloma

As an American Cancer Society Postdoctoral Fellow at Scripps Research Institute, Matthew D. Shoulders began his career studying how cells fold proteins, which are the molecular machines that carry out the chemistry of life, into functional three-dimensional shapes. In 2012, Shoulders had accepted a faculty position at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he established his own research group, the Shoulders Lab. Armed with a fully-staffed lab, he continued his quest to understand cancer’s protein-folding riddle. But, when his mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2014, Shoulders found himself in the midst of the very disease he was studying. What had once been a purely professional interest became “personal as well.”
