The Willey Lab was busy at this year’s @RRS_RadRes in Puerto Rico! I was incredibly honored to receive the J.W. Osborne Award. @KaitlynReno received a travel award for her abstract and Alicia Costa-Terryll presented a poster at her first conference with the lab. #RRS #research

The Willey lab had two undergraduate students this summer working alongside graduate students Kaitlyn Reno and Alicia Costa-Terryll.

Congratulations to both Alivia Smith and Will Ho for all of their hard work and success this summer!

I can’t believe it’s already been a year since my PhD defense but I got to come back for @WFUbiomedgrad graduation and get hooded by @JeffWilleyLab! It’s been a journey but very thankful for the endless support from my parents and loved ones!

Last week, @KaitlynReno participated in the @AACR Early-Career Hill Day where she advocated for increased funding for the NIH and NCI. She also voiced the importance funding has on advancing cancer research and supporting the next generation of trainees. #AACRontheHill #FundNIH

Way to go, Kaitlyn! #CancerResearch

[AACR @AACR]

We thank @SenTedBuddNC's office for taking the time to meet with us to discuss the importance of supporting the National Institutes of Health and its pivotal role in advancing cancer research. #AACRontheHill #FundNIH

Another great @ASGSRSpace meeting in the books. I got to deliver 2 technical talks and a poster highlighting work from @NASA HRP, @BCMSpaceHealth, and @JeffWilleyLab. I chaired 4 sessions and got to speak with the founder and CEO of @RhScientific, @52_Olivia.

[Chirayu Patel, PhD, MS @ChirayuPhD]

Excited to share my latest publication from my work in @JeffWilleyLab on our findings from the @NASA Rodent Research 18 mission to the #ISS. This study investigated #antioxidant countermeasures for the preservation of #jointhealth during #spaceflight.
