Undertaking a PhD and then navigating a career pathway in cancer can be such an exciting time- yet it can also be daunting and overwhelming! Our Cancer Clinical Theme is excited to bring together a series of workshops to holistically support PhD candidates (with a research focus on cancer) in academic resilience and wellbeing. The first online workshop: Seven Secrets of Highly Successful Research Students is on 1st August, 10am - 1pm. https://lnkd.in/gYp24VCJ This workshop describes the key habits required to successfully complete a PhD based on research and experience with thousands of students. Just as importantly, how these habits can greatly reduce stress and increase pleasure along the journey of completion. #cancerPhD, #PhD #research

🎓 Excited to share that I’ve completed the "Introduction to the Biology of Cancer" course, offered by Johns Hopkins University through Coursera! 🌟 This course has provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the biological principles underlying cancer, including its development, diagnosis, and treatment. I’ve gained valuable insights into the mechanisms of cancer progression and the latest advancements in cancer research. A big thank you to Johns Hopkins University and Coursera for this enriching learning experience. Looking forward to applying this knowledge in my professional journey and contributing to the fight against cancer.

Joining the Fight Against Cancer: My Research Journey Begins 🔬 It’s official, I joined my thesis lab! After a year of exploring diverse research areas through rotations, I am joining Dr. Herman Sintim’s lab in Purdue University’s Department of Chemistry for my PhD. I am looking forward to contributing to the field of cancer research in the coming years. 👩🏾🔬 I want to thank Dr. Herman Sintim for welcoming me to his research group. Also, a big thank you to my rotation professors including Dr. Philip Low, Dr. Jianing Li, and Dr. Sandro Matosevic for the opportunity to learn key lessons that will guide me through the rest of my journey In the Low lab, I realized the importance of considering research as a response to societal needs rather than a solitary endeavor. In the Li lab, I discovered the power of computational approaches in drug discovery, gaining proficiency in molecular dynamics simulations software. Finally, Dr. Matosevic's lab introduced me to innovative cancer immunotherapy techniques. 💊 Special thanks to the graduate students who mentored me in these different labs, including Dr. Imrul Shahriar, Shambhavi Borde, and Nick Brauer. I am looking forward to the next steps in my PhD journey. I am thrilled to grow as a scientist and take incoming research opportunities. Their guidance played a significant role in my ongoing growth as a research scientist. 💫 Finally, if you're involved in oncology or drug discovery research, I'd love to connect and learn from your experiences! #womeninstem #research #cancer #drug #immunotherapy

Have you ever thought about getting your Ph.D. before finishing your bachelor's degree? well It's impossible, despite this, I have received an email addressing me as Dr. Bar. So, I'm not a doctor (yet), but I am a part of a research program, guided by Dr. Ophir Nave. And I had the privilege of co-authoring an academic article weaving together mathematics and breast cancer. After a deep dive into learning, my first article has found its place in the Scientific Reports journal by Nature Portfolio. Briefly, we used mathematical modeling to optimize combination drug therapy for breast cancer. Through simulation of tumor growth and drug effects, we have identified optimal dosing strategies to maximize anti-tumor activity. Our study shows that mathematical modeling can improve multi-drug treatments for breast cancer. Although this journey has had its challenges, it has been incredibly rewarding. I am grateful for the mentorship of Dr. Ophir Nave and excited to continue contributing to meaningful research The full article: https://lnkd.in/dDbw52kC #scientificresearch #breastcancer #math #ScientificReportsJournal
