What an incredible day hosting Dr. Victor Ambros for our annual Michael Miller Memorial Lecture!
We were honored to host Nobel Laureate Dr. Victor Ambros for the annual Michael Miller Memorial Lecture hosted by @UABCDIB. Ambros' insights on post-transcriptional gene regulation in animal development were truly inspiring.

Super fun and invigorating visit by the incomparable Victor Ambros as part of @UABCDIB trainee-selected Michael Miller Memorial Seminar! Amongst the chaos of the world, it was a good reminder of the reasons and motivations that got us all into research in the first place 🧐🤓

I had the incredible honor of spending time with Dr. Victor Ambros, co-recipient of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. From sharing meals and meaningful conversations to introducing him on stage at UAB. Grateful beyond words! #NobelPrize #UAB @UABCDIB
