Congratulations to our @JohnsHopkins undergrad student Paul Bermudez Cobo, who received a 2026 @AlexsLemonade Ped Onc Student Training (POST) award to do research in our lab this summer! Fun fact: our PI @YangDing19 was an ALSF POST grantee as a medical student 15 years ago.

We kicked off the @AlexsLemonade Million Mile challenge to fight Childhood Cancer strong with a walk around the @HopkinsMedicine @HopkinsKids campus with others in the Hopkins Pediatric Oncology division! @aparajitha89 @YangDing19 alexslemonade.org/2025/ding-lab-…
