This is what YPGA is about: visibility, diversity, and collaboration across disciplines.

✨️ Already excited for next year. If you’re interested in getting involved, check our webpages:

⚕️ Huge thanks to our keynote Dr. Lindsay McAlpine for an inspiring talk on Long COVID & neuroimmunology, and to our career & MD/PhD panelists for real, generous advice. Most of all, shout-out to every postgrad who asked bold questions, presented beautiful posters, and made new connections.

🏛 As YPGA Vice President - Public Relations, and a proud member of the committee, it was extra special to help host; and to present my own poster on "Sex Specific Effects of Asparagine in Colorectal Cancer". 🧪

🎓 Grateful for a full day of science, community, and big ideas at The Yale Postgraduate Association (YPGA) 5th Annual Symposium on August 22, 2025 at OC Marsh Hall in the Yale Science Building.

We’re exploring how metabolic differences drive sex/race-specific vulnerabilities in colorectal cancer.
And why would this matter? 🔬

• Tumor metabolism is a moving target, metabolomics could be a pressure point
• Sex & race-based differences remain under-investigated. We aim to change that.

Dr. Khan’s lab leads cutting-edge research at the intersection of oncology, surgery, and translational science, and I’m excited to contribute to a team that’s both clinically grounded and innovation-driven. 🥼

🎉 New chapter: I’ve officially joined Dr. Sajid Khan’s lab at Yale!

After months of waiting, stress, and navigating one of the toughest NIH funding climates in recent memory, I’m beyond proud (and honestly relieved) to finally begin this next chapter in cancer research. 🧬

I presented my work on optimizing core techniques and workflows for DIA-MS proteomics sample prep. From phospho/glycopeptide enrichment to in-solution/in-gel digestion, protein quantification and C18 desalting, every step counts when precision and reproducibility are the goal. 🧪

Had a great time presenting my research at the Yale Pharmacology Department Retreat 2025, held at Mount Snow Grand Summit Resort in Vermont!❄️
A fantastic two-day event full of science, posters, presentations, and snowy mountains. 🏔️
🗓️Mar 31 – Apr 1

🌊Throwback to the Yale Cancer Biology Institute Retreat at Danford’s Hotel & Marina (Port Jefferson, NY). 🧬
Two days packed with science, posters, and great convos on cancer biology from different YCBI labs, held November 14–15, 2024! 📅

Let’s make science more open, honest, and human 🌍

Just joined the science side of social media 🥼🔬
I’m a postgraduate researcher @Yale focused on molecular medicine, tumor biology, and omics-driven approaches to translational oncology.

Looking forward to connecting!🌟
