Welcome to the
AWIS Nevada Chapter
The mission of the AWIS Nevada Chapter is to create a broad interdisciplinary welcoming environment to advance the careers of women in science and technology and promote the participation of girls in the sciences.
​
AWIS Chapters extend the reach and effectiveness of our collective advocacy efforts on behalf of women in STEM. Chapters are robust, multidisciplinary communities that bring together stakeholders from a wide range of employment sectors, scientific disciplines, and career stages. Their activities can vary greatly based on the leadership and community they serve.
By joining a Chapter, members have opportunities to advance their careers through professional development, mentoring, information sharing, outreach and professional networking in formal and informal social settings.​

Cells must move to build organs and fight infections. They do this by a process called cell migration. They either migrate individually or in groups known as collectives. Collective migrations are diverse and underlie normal development, wound closure, and cancer metastasis. Recent research suggests cancer cells moving as small groups are 100 times more successful than lone cells at generating new tumors at distant sites. However, how groups of cells move in unison is not completely understood.
