I am over the moon to share that I have received the K99/R00 Pathway to Independence Award by the NIH-NIAID!!! I’m enormously grateful to my mentors, Wenqin Luo and De’Broski Herbert, the support from PennVet and PennMedicine and my husband! Eager to start my lab soon in 🧠💉🪱 interactions!

I’m very honored and happy to share the recent spotlight by the Keystone Symposia Fellows Program. Their support as I become an independent investigator is crucial in these uncertain times!
