It was my honor to collaborate with Lindsey Cauthen, PhD to publish an article on how career coaches help trainees in navigating careers. Seeking support from coaches is a crucial step towards articulating career goals and creating a roadmap leading to work-life satisfaction.

I consider that students can identify appropriate #career paths by conducting 1. #selfassessment, 2. #networking, and 3. identifying their #skills gaps and how to fill them.

Let's chat
🔍Which of these 3 steps are you currently conducting?
🔍Which one has helped you the most?

Given the importance of EMT in metastasis and the pivotal role of ZEB1 as a transcriptional repressor during this process, the regulation of ZEB1 and its target gene expression is an active area of investigation. Check my review paper published in Cancers. https://t.co/ds1ImYso4F
