📢 It's official! Lab coat ceremony today...Majd Al Hamaly is my new PhD student! Majd Hamaly has a Masters in Pharmacology already so 👀 on the exciting things she'll be doing with our #zebrafish drug screens! Looking forward to the next few years with her! 🤗 Markey Cancer Center Trainees

🌟🌟🌟 Our lab superstar this week was our newest grad student Majd Hamaly, who is already gaining some serious #zebrafish expertise, writing a review article, and mentoring 2 undergrads! If she keeps this up, she'll be graduated by next year! 🤩

Very proud of my mentee Angelica for presenting her poster at the ABRCMS 👏🏼

🥳 Congrats to my grad student Majd Hamaly for crushing her first ever department seminar today! I always get SO nervous at student talks...I want it to go well for them! But this time my pulse was almost normal before the 1/2 way mark. She aced it! 🤩 Markey Cancer Center Trainees

Dept retreat today, and our lab did not come to play! 😁 Viral Oza gave a great talk on #dipg relapse, Majd Hamaly talked about using #zebrafish screens to find new drugs for leukemia, and our undergrad Ty Cheatham gave his poster on prl3's #phosphatase activity. Markey Cancer Center Trainees

Had great time at the Biochemistry department retreat today and very thankful for the poster award!

For the 7th year, Markey Cancer Center Cancer Center earned a national ranking from U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals. For the 8th year straight, UK HealthCare was ranked the No. 1 hospital in Kentucky. Together, it all gives Kentuckians even more reasons to believe in Markey. youtube.com/watch?v=XDnh33…

In the lab with our faculty: Jessica Blackburn, PhD, associate professor of molecular and cellular biochemistry, discusses how her lab uses zebrafish models to find new therapies that target cancer cells. UK Research

Very excited and proud to see our past lab member Anna Cox speak about her unique journey as cancer patient, then researcher, and now med student at Markey's ceremony for gaining NCI Comprehensive Cancer Center status! She even gave our #zebrafish a shout-out! 🤗

Had a great time at #ZDM16 this week! Especially because I got to relax while Majd Hamaly did all the hard work repping our lab with her poster and awesome talk 🤩
