🎬 It was a pleasure hosting a screening of The Endless Frontier and a discussion with filmmaker @MarilynNess9 and scientist @DrShrutiNaik, moderated by Dr. Agnel Sfeir. A powerful conversation on scientific discovery, the researchers behind it, and the future of science.

@NagSharanya #MSKPostdoc in the Chandarlapaty Lab identifies activating ERBB2 mutations as a potential biomarker of trastuzumab deruxtecan sensitivity, expanding treatment options for patients w/metastatic breast cancer, including those with HER2 IHC 0 tumors.

#BestPartOfScience: connecting scientific discovery to patient care. I study how cancers develop resistance to targeted therapies, with the goal of uncovering new treatment strategies that could ultimately benefit patients.

#CareerAdvice: Coming from an RNA biology PhD into translational oncology, one of my biggest lessons was to not be afraid to step into a new field. Your training gives you a unique perspective, even when you're still learning. Ask for help, share your ideas, and remember that setbacks are part of the process, not a reflection of your potential.

#FunFact: Outside the lab, I enjoy baking, reading fiction, painting, and traveling. These hobbies help me stay curious, think creatively, and return to science with fresh perspectives.

#BestPartOfScience: Constantly learning and discovering new things. Building and applying new tools to uncover biological insights is incredibly rewarding and keeps science endlessly exciting.

#BecomingAScientist: From studying paleontology and ecology as an undergraduate to researching neuroscience and cancer, I have always been fascinated by how individuals interact within complex systems, whether in forests or within tumors and their microenvironments.

#CareerAdvice: Never give up. Breakthroughs may get the spotlight, but science is built on the persistence to keep going when experiments fail.

#FunFact: Outside the lab, I enjoy powerlifting. It has taught me to value progress over perfection, trust the process, and appreciate how small, consistent efforts compound over time.
