@VitoRebecca1 who was my consistent mentor through all the steps of my career, and who is the definition of support, definitely couldn’t have done this without him. And others who provided me mentorship and were always in my corner @HerlynLab @HolmenSheri @whitefishlab.

Extremely grateful and excited to share that I will be joining the University of Maryland as an Assist. Professor @UMBC. A dream come true and couldn’t have been possible without all of my mentors at different stages of my career, as well as the friends I made along the way.

Excited to report our latest findings in @AshaniTW. We found aged fibroblasts secrete IGFBP2 that drives melanoma lipid synthesis and metastasis. Thank you to @AshaniTW for her mentoring of me in and out of the lab #melanoma#Latinasinstem#AcademicChatter
Recently published: Age-related increases in fibroblast-secreted IGFBP2 increase melanoma cell invasion and lipid synthesis, by Gretchen M. Alicea et al. https://t.co/JtoyTJOlnF

If you want to read amazing science, do yourself a favor and take a look at this amazing work that just came out! Co-lead by a previous member of the lab (now PI) @AshleyKiemen! With @deniswirtz and @lauradelongwood in command. Really a state of the art.
I’m beyond excited to share work from my PhD, co-led with Alicia Braxton, out today in Nature! We used CODA to map the anatomic and genomic properties of pancreatic cancer precursors. Led by the amazing @lauradelongwood and @deniswirtz ! https://t.co/9B1thix0Qv
