Had a great time at #ZDM16 this week! Especially because I got to relax while @MajdHamaly did all the hard work repping our lab with her poster and awesome talk 🤩

[Jessi Blackburn @TheBlackburnLab]

Very excited and proud to see our past lab member Anna Cox speak about her unique journey as cancer patient, then researcher, and now med student at Markey's ceremony for gaining NCI Comprehensive Cancer Center status! She even gave our #zebrafish a shout-out! 🤗

In the lab with our faculty: Jessica Blackburn, PhD, associate professor of molecular and cellular biochemistry, discusses how her lab uses zebrafish models to find new therapies that target cancer cells. @ResearchKY

[Markey Cancer Center @UKMarkey]

For the 7th year, @UKMarkey Cancer Center earned a national ranking from @usnews Best Hospitals. For the 8th year straight, @UK_HealthCare was ranked the No. 1 hospital in Kentucky. Together, it all gives Kentuckians even more reasons to believe in Markey. https://t.co/Kbn4hc1QV3

Had great time at the Biochemistry department retreat today and very thankful for the poster award!

[Jessi Blackburn @TheBlackburnLab]

And, @MajdHamaly won the best poster award! 🥳 Which is especially impressive considering she's my Pharmacology PhD student and this was a Biochemistry dept retreat 😁

[Jessi Blackburn @TheBlackburnLab]

Dept retreat today, and our lab did not come to play! 😁 Viral Oza gave a great talk on #dipg relapse, @MajdHamaly talked about using #zebrafish screens to find new drugs for leukemia, and our undergrad Ty Cheatham gave his poster on prl3's #phosphatase activity. @MCCTrainees

@samilcase @TheBlackburnLab @MCCTrainees Thank you Sami!

[Jessi Blackburn @TheBlackburnLab]

🥳 Congrats to my grad student @MajdHamaly for crushing her first ever department seminar today! I always get SO nervous at student talks...I want it to go well for them! But this time my pulse was almost normal before the 1/2 way mark. She aced it! 🤩 @MCCTrainees

[Majd Hamaly @MajdHamaly]

Very proud of my mentee Angelica for presenting her poster at the @ABRCMS 👏🏼

[Jessi Blackburn @TheBlackburnLab]

Check out our amazing undergrads Angelica Rivera-Martinez and Kenan Andres Flores presenting at their first conference @ABRCMS! They BOTH won travel awards and are making the lab look good in CA! 🤩 Big thanks @mvcdelacerna for tracking them down for pics 😁

🌟🌟🌟 Our lab superstar this week was our newest grad student @MajdHamaly, who is already gaining some serious #zebrafish expertise, writing a review article, and mentoring 2 undergrads! If she keeps this up, she'll be graduated by next year! 🤩

[Jessi Blackburn @TheBlackburnLab]

📢 It's official! Lab coat ceremony today...Majd Al Hamaly is my new PhD student! @MajdHamaly has a Masters in Pharmacology already so 👀 on the exciting things she'll be doing with our #zebrafish drug screens! Looking forward to the next few years with her! 🤗 @MCCTrainees
