Last week, @CancerGrand SAMBAI had their kick-off meeting! Tackling the cancer inequities challenge, they are unravelling the factors that cause and influence disparate cancer outcomes in underserved populations of African descent. 👏 @MeliD32 @MSMEDU 🔎cancergrandchallenges.org/sambai

@HKbeasley Happy happy birthday!!! 🎊

In my birthday era… Grateful for the growth, wisdom, and community. 🥰

We were honored to host the @NHGRI_Director this week for a special visit to @MSMEDU! We shared the vision of #SAMBAI our team of genomics investigators at the ITGM, and shared his vision of "Creating the 4th Chapter of Human Genomics"! What an inspirational time!!

I spent a wonderful day at @MSMEDU yesterday, meeting with their outstanding genomics/genetics researchers, enjoying an engaging lunch discussion with trainees, and strategizing about how best to enhance the diversity of the genomics workforce.

Anybody at #AACR24 have #Eclipse2024 glasses today??!

Congrats to #TeamSAMBAI on this accomplishment!! Very excited to be on this team @MeliD32 - the work has already begun!! 🧬🎉

So proud to be involved in the public Patient Involvement arm of the #SAMBAI project which is one of the recipients of the Cancer Grand Challenge Awards looking at cancer risk and outcomes in diverse populations to reduce cancer inequities including #pancreaticcancer @CancerGrand

The fifth and final @CancerGrand team announced at the #CancerGrandChallenges Summit is Team SAMBAI (Cancer Inequities challenge), led by @MeliD32 (@MSMEDU) - congratulations!

We got a spotlight in the Cancer Discovery Global Oncology collection! I'm so proud to be part of 2 in the collection!! @phd_yates @MartiniRachel @DocBJenkins @LANewmanMD @WCMEnglanderIPM @MSMEDU

@KemiDoll @drjennyspencer Endnote for life! 👏🏼

Listen, gang. No matter what anyone says about how good another reference manager is and how terrible and buggy yours is, just NEVER change. Stay with the bad one until you both die together or live an eternity of having to switch between them with every grant + paper revision.

✨Proud Wife Moment✨ Congrats to Ryan and his DNP project partner Li on presenting their work around Pediatric Prewarming Protocol Compliance! It’s been fun to see him step into the research world!! @AUG_nursing Onto clinicals!!

Another new publication! Circulating Exosomes have distinct immune profiles in AA patients! Great job, team!! Special congrats to Shakir!! @DocBLord, @phd_yates @MSMEDU @uga_genetics mdpi.com/2072-6694/15/8…
