Congrats to my former PhD supervisor Siyaram Pandey for being honored as a Distinguished University Professor at University of Windsor! He has always put his students 1st & even as I do my postdoc at UC Irvine, he still has found time to meet & provide me with crucial career/ life advice.

Welcome to attend one of my best friend's PhD defense: Ph.D. Dissertation Defense of Hamad Alshetaiwi Hamad Alshetaiwi, “Defining Immunosuppressive Myeloid Cells in Breast Cancer in Single Cell Resolution” Tuesday, November 22, 2022 3:00 p.m. Nelson Auditorium @UCIrvineSOM

My best friend Hamad Alshetaiwi just got his PhD! We’ve worked on our cancer research together through many late nights, weekends, holidays, & even Christmas. Easily the nicest, most hard working person I know & I will miss working with you! Congrats Dr. Alshetaiwi!
