Three poster presentations at the symposium of the Tom Wahlig Foundation from our team at the @DEF_Lab_HMS by @JEAlecu, Cedric Böger and myself on our research at @BostonChildrens/@harvardmed. It was inspiring to learn about interdisciplinary advances in rare disease research.
Leaving the US after an incredible research year for my medical doctoral thesis. Immensely grateful to the @DEF_Lab_HMS at @BostonChildrens/@harvardmed and to @DariusFakhari for his unwavering support, great mentorship and for being an inspiring role model.
Back in Boston after 2 amazing weeks at Manchester learning Proteomics from @Alex_Doune as part of my project @DEF_Lab_HMS. So grateful to Alex for teaching me and to @Boehringer MD Fellowship for funding my stay. Still in awe of the exciting research and the enchanting city.
I am very excited to see this project published! Working with this exceptional team has been truly inspiring.@DEF_Lab_HMS @FMKirbyNeuro @BostonChildrens
