Elizabeth Repasky is Lawrence J. Minet Professor of Immunology and program leader for the Cancer Stress Biology Program at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center. She graduated from Seton Hill University with a B.A. in biology, received her Ph.D. from the Buffalo State University and did a postdoctoral fellowship at the California Institute of Technology. Her research on thermal stress and the impact of thermoregulatory pathways on the anti-tumor immune response has been a long-standing passion. Repasky has been recognized as a distinguished biomedical alumna of the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at Buffalo State University. She is a recipient of the Dr. Thomas B. Tomasi Hope Award at Roswell Park and of both the J. Eugene Robinson and William C. Dewey Awards for her contributions to the field of thermal medicine.

This paper changed my life: Embracing an early model for naturalistic neuroscience
A 1992 PNAS paper showed how birdsong upregulates the expression of an immediate early gene in bird forebrains. The work revealed to Ribeiro the importance of studying molecular responses in naturalistic contexts.
