NCI K00 Fellow at UTSW in the Tagliabracci lab. Interested in cool enzymes and PTMs
Joined October 2019
I am excited and humbled to share that I have been awarded an NCI F99K00. This fellowship will provide up to two years of funding for me to finish my PhD studying tyrosine kinase signaling networks during hypoxia, and four additional years of post-doctoral funding. 1/2
