Thrilled to share that my R01 has been converted to an NCI R37 MERIT Award! This award will support our work on intratumoral bacteria and the tumor immune microenvironment in oral cancer. Grateful to the NCI, my mentors, collaborators and lab/clinical teams.

My superstar post-doc Kala Mahen showed up to TRCCC with an adorable new addition! I think baby Cameron will be a future scientist! 😉

Had a great time at the University of Pittsburgh Department of Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery Grand Rounds sharing our work on intratumoral bacteria in head and neck cancer. Great connecting with colleagues and friends. Thank you for the invitation!

More amazing team science to kick off 2026! Check out our publication, led by @McGrailResearch on NLR in diverse patient populations. @ClevelandClinic @caseccc

Thanks for highlighting our study! Excited to share our work in @jclinicalinvest showing how biomarkers such as NLR can vary by patient demographics. @nataliesilvermd @DrAlexAdjei @lucmorrisnyc
