Congrats and well deserved!

The list of people to thank from around the world is too numerous to share here. I hope I can repay and pay forward their support. I came to Stanford Medicine ten years ago next month, found lovely colleagues who encourage and help one another. It is an awesome place to be.

One of the highlights from the Union Conference was getting to visit with our study partners. Such an amazing experience to be all together in person.

As part of the closing ceremony of the #UnionConf2023 , I am honoured to have presented the 2023 #StephenLawn Memorial Prize for Research Leadership in #TB - #HIV in #Africa to Dr. Andrew Kerkhoff of UC San Francisco.
