A big moment for me: I started as an u/g then grad student in Immunology University of Toronto. After 20 years of running my lab Temerty Medicine, alongside my friends and colleagues I am now excited to lead the Dept as Chair. Thank you all my mentors, family and friends for support along the way.
8 years flew by!⌛️ It has been an absolute privilege training @UofTMDPhD @UofTMedicine💫 Thanks to my family, friends, and mentors for supporting me every step of the way💖 📸photos: Alexandra Florescu
Breaking my hiatus to ask folks to donate to Hawaiʻi People’s Fund’s response fund to help folks who’ve been affected by the fires on Maui 🖤 All y’all who’ve traveled here despite explicit community asks not to, here’s your chance to help make up: hawaiipeoplesfund.networkforgood.com/projects/20056…
So incredibly lucky to have spent the last four years with Dr. Jen Gommerman researching the role of B cells in the meninges and periphery during CNS disease! So much love for my lab, friends, family and mentors that got me here and to my committee and examiners for their support
How sweet is this lab tradition where recent grads are gifted a paddle from Dr. Jen Gommerman? The inscriptions are always a pun and mine was very fitting. Such an honour to have my own and hopefully get to use it at a future lab camping trip!
