Damon Runyon Researchers

Subyeta is a graduate of the Macaulay Honors College at Hunter College, New York, where she earned a BA in Biological Sciences with a minor in Public Health. Born and raised in New York City, Subyeta’s personal medical experiences exposed her to the profound impact of medicine and scientific discovery. These experiences, coupled with clinical volunteer work in hospitals and nursing homes, solidified her aspiration to pursue a career that intersects both cancer research and medicine. She explored this passion through research experiences in Dr. Ross Levine’s lab at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, where she contributed to projects focused on acute myeloid leukemia. In the summer of 2024, she deepened her research experience as a Harvard-Amgen Scholar at Boston Children’s Hospital, studying clonal hematopoiesis in the lab of Dr. Vijay G. Sankaran, current Sponsor to a Damon Runyon Fellow and Damon Runyon-St. Jude Fellow. Subyeta’s research efforts were recognized with the Horace W. Goldsmith Scholar Award from Macaulay Honors College. In her free time, she enjoys exploring New York City, building Legos, and unwinding with a good movie.
