Minneapolis Research Scientist Headshot | Caden

Caden is a translational researcher and aspiring physician with a mission that reaches far beyond the lab.

At the Masonic Cancer Center, his work focuses on developing next-generation cancer therapies by harnessing immune cells to enhance their ability to recognize, persist, and ultimately eliminate cancer.

What makes his story even more powerful is the heart behind it: Caden’s passion for life sciences was deeply shaped by his brother’s battle with kidney cancer.  

It was a pleasure to take Caden’s headshot at my studio as he embarks on the next chapter of his career. 

Beyond work, Caden enjoys wakeboarding, snowboarding, and mixed martial arts. Fun fact — he can deliver an impressively accurate Conor McGregor impersonation, complete with the Irish accent!
