I'm so excited to share our recently accepted article on "Mechanisms modulating anoikis resistance in cancer and the relevance of metabolic reprogramming" frontiersin.org/article/10.338…

This study is one of the projects that I’m most delighted to have published as a first author and gave the best of time during my Ph.D training.

Happy to be the recipient of a 2021 GSITA award by AACR to be able to attend the upcoming Annual Meetings 🎉🪅😄 (thank you so much!!) These really make a difference as sometimes the cost of attending is high for scientists in developing countries. aacr.org/professionals/…

Happy to attend the 2021 AACR GSITA awardee alumni meeting today.

Such a great honor to be one of alumni of AACR GSITA. Today we had a meeting and talked about AACR journals, grant and membership opportunities. We also decided to have another meeting about tumor biology. #aacr2021 AACR

Thanks to the GSITA for sponsoring my participation! I’m truly grateful for all the learning and networking opportunities AACR has offered ❤️ #AACR2021 It was such a wonderful and intellectually stimulating experiencec definitely worth the “sleepless nights”!!

Don't let anyone push you to do something "stupid" forcing you to say or do something to win public approval sacrificing relationships you built over the years. Don't allow manipulation or guilt tripping ruin vital connections in your life. Cast out the scorner and strife ceases.

I am excited to see this article finally published as part of my achievements during my Ph.D. I still remember how I conceived the idea to put this together while working on some of my thesis reviewer's comments early last year.

We are pleased to announce the twelfth class of AAI Public Policy Fellows, who began their one-year fellowship on May 1. The AAI Public Policy Fellows Program (PPFP) engages early career researchers in AAI advocacy activities and culminates in a Capitol Hill Day in D.C.

I'm glad to be selected as a 2022-2023 AAI Public Policy fellow. I know that it's going to be a remarkable year of learning. Congratulations to other fellows! I look forward to seeing you in Portland to brainstorm science policies that will move immunology research forward.

It was a pleasure meeting with members of The American Association of Immunologists (AAI), including St. Jude’s Dr. Adeleye Adeshakin, Ph.D, and Jeremy Crawford, Ph.D., from Shelby Co. I enjoyed hearing about your research & how immunological advances help prevent and treat infectious diseases. Keep up the great work!

It was indeed an awesome experience at the senator's office to advocate on the need for continous and increased funding to support NIH and ARPA-H for FY2024. This one-year as AAI public policy fellow has been rewarding. Thanks to The American Association of Immunologists (AAI) for this opportunity.

Today is the AACR Early-Career National Day of Action, and we're calling on early-career scientists, trainees, students, and all who support them to contact members of Congress and ask them to prioritize NIH funding. Take action: AACR.org/AACRECHD24 #AACRontheHill #FundNIH

We had a very productive 9th Annual Early-Career Hill Day. Our 20 AACR Associate Members are wrapping up their meetings, but you can still take action in support of early-career scientists by visiting bit.ly/48yoSoV. #AACRontheHill #FundNIH

It's always an exciting moment to be on Capitol Hill with colleagues advocating for increased funding to support NIH and National Cancer Institute AACR @StJudeResearch@Vanderbilt University

Early career scientists from St. Jude Research and Vanderbilt University had a wonderful coffee chat with Senators Sen. Marsha Blackburn and Senator Bill Hagerty while engaging them on the need for increased funding to support NIH Funding and National Cancer Institute AACR during the Tennessee Tuesday meeting.
