Farewell to outgoing lab members; Steffy to start her lab at LSU and Josephine to start her postdoc at Princeton. They will be missed. Wish their continued success in their next step!

Very cool. Congrats!

Proud moment to see two outstanding trainees to graduate. Hannah got MD/PhD, moving to Hopkins for residency and Josephine got PhD, moving to Princeton for postdoc. Well done, both of you!

Promoted to full professor! Big thanks to all mentors, colleagues, and trainees for helping me to get here.

Congrats! Well deserved!
