Good to catch up with @SamuelFChang. He is an aspiring physician-scientist at UAB under the mentorship of @AdamWende #AHA24
An amazing first day of #AHA24 ❤️ Celebrating 100years, and learning about cutting edge work ranging from landmark clinical trials to trailblazing basic sciences!! Can’t wait to learn and experience more (… and apparently there’s a “puppy snuggle zone”?!? Will update on that)
There are only a few meetings I like to attend. However, those from the KSoLA in Korea have always been a favorite. Please consider attending if you can! file:///Users/arwende/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.Outlook/Data/tmp/Outlook%20Temp/22nd_DAWAS%20Newsletter.html
We’re thrilled for the 2024 UAB Pathology Research Retreat @UABPathology , where @TheWendeLab trainees @Saimoon_Rahman @MahimaReddy11 presented their research and connected with the broader pathology community!
Celebrating Our Lab’s Newest Doctor! Join us in congratulating Dr. @SayanBakshi ! His successful thesis defense represents years of dedication and innovation in @TheWendeLab . We’re proud to have been part of his scientific journey.
@SamuelFChang @nih_nhlbi @UABMSTP @UABPathology @UABExerciseMed @TheWendeLab @AdamWende lab still has a 100% success rate in F30s... with the mentoring support, this is no accident!
