I'm deeply honored and grateful to receive the 2024 Young Investigator Award by the @CancerRF. This funding will boost our research on ion channels in the context of tumor immunotherapy.
Replying to @CancerRF
This grant is intended to solve a catch-22 facing many young scientists: not having enough data to solicit funding for large-scale studies, and yet not having enough funding to collect further data. Join us in congratulating these eight individuals.

A friendly reminder on #RareDiseaseDay that if you only ever listen for the hoofbeats of horses, you will miss entire herds of zebras While each individual condition may be rare, in aggregate the thousands of esoteric illnesses affect millions of patients! 🦓 🦓 🦓

2022 chemistry laureate Carolyn Bertozzi took click chemistry to a new level by utilising it in living organisms. Using her bioorthogonal reactions, researchers have improved the targeting of cancer pharmaceuticals, which are now being tested in clinical trials. #WorldCancerDay

No work is more important, challenging, or meaningful than caring for a loved one who is ill. ⁠Roughly a quarter of all Americans will at some point become a primary caregiver to a loved one, many due to illnesses such as #Glioblastoma. ⁠ ⁠

"I was diagnosed with #BloodCancer, in 2021, following my mother's same diagnosis in 2005. While it's not proven to be hereditary, experts are seeing myeloma as a greater risk for African Americans.”-#Myeloma survivor, Tim. (1/4) #BloodCancerAwarenessMonth
