Last week we wrapped up DFB 2025 and it was such an amazing experience! All the work in putting the course together pays off when you see the excitement in the students eyes. Can’t wait for next year! 🔬💛💙〽️

My first first-author paper is out on JITC!

Thank you to everyone involved, especially the patients that provided us their samples for this study, & Mike for the opportunity.

"Imagine a DAPI-like stain, but for the extracellular matrix." That's basically how this work was pitched to me by Kayvon and Antonio a year or so ago. Now the final product really delivers. Read about their versatile label for ECM in living tissues here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Aren’t my whole application, scientific project, letters of recommendation, first author publications, academic record and current employment in a top tier US University enough proof that I can at least get by in this country? Damn.

It’s so extremely frustrating to be an immigrant and, besides not being eligible for the majority of NIH grants, still have to be submitted to proficiency tests to prove that I’m able to speak English in order to have a fellowship *submitted* (not even approved).
