It was great to present our work at APSNI2024 in Beijing! Thanks to the organizers for gathering many great scientists together in Beijing! It was also a mixed feeling being at home for the first time after 10 years!

Thank you so much, Katerina, for your mentorship and your longstanding support! And thanks to all lab members and collaborators for all their relentless efforts in the past years. So happy to be part of this amazing team!

I am thrilled to receive the Warren Alpert Distinguished Scholar Awards in 2025! Thank you Katerina Akassoglou for your outstanding support and mentorship! And thanks to Gladstone Institutes for providing the fantastic environment for young scientists!

We did it again!

It’s my honor to receive the career transition award from the Warren Alpert Foundation. I look forward to making more exciting discoveries in neurovascular dysfunction in neurologic diseases. Thank you, Katerina Katerina Akassoglou for your support and outstanding mentorship!
