Thanks from my deep heart to @puigserver_lab @PpuigserverB, Kai Wucherpfennig, Hans Widlund, Jean Zhao, and everyone at @DFCI_CancerBio and @harvardmed for your mentorship and support. Excited for what’s ahead!
Thrilled to share that I’ll be starting my new position as a tenure-track assistant professor at the @OSU Comprehensive Cancer Center on July 1st! And to continue my journey to conquer cancer through the lens of metabolism and immunity.

We are looking for strong candidates with backgrounds in cell biology, biochemistry, metabolism, immunology, cancer biology, chemical biology or structural biology. More information about us can be found on our website: puigserver.dfci.harvard.edu 2/2
We are hiring! Our lab has several openings for #postdoc fellows in projects looking at mechanisms of mitochondrial disease and cancer immunology in a great research environment. Direct inquiries to [email protected]. Please RT! @HarvardCellBio @mitojobs 1/2
Three cells going through cell division videoed through a microscope. Left to right: Control, Myosin IIA depletion, and Myosin IIB depletion. This data screamed, "Study membrane blebs!" So we did.... #CellBiology #Biology #Science cell.com/cell-reports/f…
