Today, we kick off the Career Coaching and Advising Seminar Series for students at MD Anderson-UTH Grad . Thanks, Karen Jaw-Madson for facilitating our inaugural session which focused on helping the group to individually create their own action plans for mentoring in an interactive environment.

Given the importance of EMT in metastasis and the pivotal role of ZEB1 as a transcriptional repressor during this process, the regulation of ZEB1 and its target gene expression is an active area of investigation. Check my review paper published in Cancers. lnkd.in/eMy4Mi8C

Congrats to Mabel Perez-Oquendo (Advisor, Dr. Don Gibbons) for her NIH NCI F31 Diversity award, “Regulation and Function of ZEB1 Dimerization in Lung Adenocarcinoma Progression and Metastasis” and her first-author review in Cancers. mdpi.com/1577620!

Thanks for the support! I am truly excited and blessed about the NIH/NCI F31 grant and the first-author review paper that are contributing to my career development.

Mabel Perez-Oquendo received an NIH Ruth L. Kirschstein NRSA Individual Predoctoral Fellowship to Promote Diversity in Health-Related Research for her work with ZEB1’s molecular basis and its ability to induce lung cancer metastasis. Read more: go.uth.edu/GSBS-F31-2022 #WeAreGSBS

Thanks for sharing Raquel Ybanez Salinas, PhD! You are an excellent career mentor for me and for those who want to make better use of professional development experiences.

I wrote this article for Inside Higher Ed with my greatest interest in sharing with PhD students how to engage in professional development activities, including active experiential learning, to gain career clarity. insidehighered.com/advice/2022/09…

I consider that students can identify appropriate #career paths by conducting 1. #selfassessment, 2. #networking, and 3. identifying their #skills gaps and how to fill them. Let's chat 🔍Which of these 3 steps are you currently conducting? 🔍Which one has helped you the most?

Join our admissions team for the second installment of the Discover Biomedicine Series on September 21 from 3-4 p.m. CT to learn how to create a compelling and effective academic CV. GO.UTH.EDU/DISCOVERBIOMED… #WeAreGSBS #endcancer #UTHealthHouston

So impressed with ⁦⁦MD Anderson Cancer Center⁩ postdoctoral fellows, who are not only gifted scientists but also talented artists. Celebrating National Postdoc Appreciation Week at the Visual, Culinary, and Performance Art Event. Great idea, Mabel Perez Oquendo! #NPAW #EndCancer

Just attended an amazing Zoom meeting hosted by MD Anderson Cancer Center on leadership and team building with two remarkable individuals: Drs. Brené Brown and Carin Hagberg, MD! Three high-impact concepts I took away: 1️⃣ Embrace Vulnerability 2️⃣ Practice Self-awareness 3️⃣ Dare to Lead

It was my honor to collaborate with Lindsey Cauthen, PhD to publish an article on how career coaches help trainees in navigating careers. Seeking support from coaches is a crucial step towards articulating career goals and creating a roadmap leading to work-life satisfaction.

We are at #ABRCMS2023 (booth 1533) to answer any questions you have about summer research programs or postdoctoral fellowships MD Anderson Cancer Center. Come and see us!!
