Learned so much from @KatherineZhouMD and @TheHolleyLab putting this together Keep an eye out for Katherine, she's a fantastic scientist! More to come soon 🧐 @RNADiscovery @UNC_Lineberger @chrisholley

A warm but belated welcome to our new class of UNC iTOP fellows! We are excited to share any news and research updates from these six trainees. Good things to come from this talented group!😀
