Absolutely thrilled to share that Temple University/Fox Chase Cancer Center and Hunter College have secured a $13.3 million grant renewal from the National Cancer Institute. This funding has been a game-changer in tackling health disparities, and I'm eagerly anticipating its ongoing, impactful work.

As a boy I loved to watch #JFK’s press conferences. I didn’t want to be him—an impossible dream—but I wanted to be in the press corps asking him questions. We all loved our country. We were inspired by his presence, wit, ideals. Hope for us didn’t die with him, but innocence did.

1/ After residency at Mass General Hospital, I reported to Atlanta to meet my fellow CDC Epidemic Intelligence Service Officers. I have never felt so intimidated by my peers The best and the brightest, they were star clinicians, had served in disaster zones; MD/PhDs and MSF.
