#MSKPostdoc Urmila Sehrawat (Urmila Sehrawat) from the H. Guido Wendel Lab @ MSKCC is dedicated to re-engineering therapeutics to target vulnerabilities in mRNA translation (protein synthesis) with the aim of eradicating cancer cells. 🇮🇳#NPAW2024

Meet #MSKPostdoc Manuel Schupp (Manuel Schupp) in the Tan Lab. Manuel's work revolves around establishing rules for drug design 💊 for the next generation of antibiotics against Gram-negative pathogens. 🇩🇪🇦🇹#NPAW2024

Happy National Postdoc Appreciation Week to our phenomenal #MSKPostdocs (MSKPDA)! Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center community, join us today @ 4pm for the Postdoc Slam competition. We will also announce the winners of the 📸 contest and have some extra surprises for you all 😊🫢 #NPAW2024

This #PostdocAppreciationWeek, I’d like to extend my gratitude to the postdoctoral researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center who are the backbone of scientific exploration at our institution.

Postdoc Slam is about to start in 10 min and we can't hide our excitement 😃 While we are waiting, let's enjoy the beautiful art by our talented #MSKPostdocs (MSKPDA). What a pleasure to see how creative they are both in and outside the lab. #NPAW2024 📷 contest

While our judges are deliberating who will take the top 3 places in the Postdoc Slam competition, let's congratulate our #NPAW2024 MSKPDA 📸 contest winners! 🥇Cory Haluska from the Xiaolan Zhao Lab 🥈FUN Dinesh Kumar from the Rosen Lab 🥉Kelsey Hopland, PhD (she/her) from the Viviane Tabar Lab

Congratulations to all our 10 Postdoc Slam finalists 👏 You all were FANTASTIC! and we got to learn about the amazing and diverse work you do here Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center as #MSKPostdocs MSKPDA. You all gave our judges some hard work to pick up the winners 🤗

Meet #MSKPostdoc Carlos Patino Descovich from the Zallen Lab. Carlos studies the developmental processes that promote neural tube closure and the causes of neural tube defects. 🇨🇴🇨🇦#NPAW2024

Thank you Dr. Marcia Haigis (Marcia Haigis Harvard Medical School) for giving the keynote speech this year at our #MSakPostdoc research symposium. It was a pleasure to hear your story about the path that led you to study mitochondria in cancer. #NPAW2024

Meet #MSKPostdoc Sahil Batra (Sahil Batra) from the Remus Lab. Sahil is a structural biologist studying the molecular mechanism of chromosomal DNA 🧬replication, focusing particularly on how the replication machinery deals with potential impediments in the DNA. 🇮🇳#NPAW2024

Meet #MSKPostdoc Martina Milighetti (Martina Milighetti) from the labs of Vinod BalachandranMD & Benjamin D. Greenbaum. Martina uses computational methods to understand the immune response to personalized mRNA vaccines 💉 in pancreatic cancer to improve clinical outcomes. 🇮🇹#NPAW2024

Shout out to our talented scientists both in and outside the lab 🙌🙌🙌 Can you spot our #MSKPostdocs MSKPDA?

We want to thank Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Communication for helping us bring the stories behind our scientists and giving us an insight into the path that led them to do a postdoc at MSK. You can read their wonderful profiles on OneMSK: mskcc.sharepoint.com/SitePages/Cele… #NPAW2024
