Wow. I got another multi-million $$ 💰 NIH grant. Recently I was awarded an NIH R01 and I explained how only 2% of big money awards go to black scientist. Well, earlier this week, I got the official notice that I was awarded an NIH T34 grant. @prison2pro @basia_skudrzyk

We describe shared physical traits in the microenvironment of molecularly distinct tumors that mediate invasion, review engineering strategies to measure and model these features, and discuss therapeutic strategies targeting the physical microenvironment.

A little late, but I am incredibly excited that our review with @fischbcl17 is out!

I have the opportunity to start a venture studio specifically aimed at founding life science companies that develop therapeutics for diseases that disproportionately affect black people. This is the perfect marriage of my VC and PhD experience.

[Chibueze Amanchukwu @AmanchukwuLab]

Had fun giving a TED style talk on my research in the form of an African Folktale. Was part of @UChicagoPME 10 year anniversary events.

#EngAGE is LIVE! ENGineering Access for Graduate Education! @Lola_UMich and I are #EXCITED about this one! $5000 scholarships for student loan payoff or moving expenses for URMs who are currently enrolled in STEM graduate programs... (1/3) @MooreWealth_Inc

[Tendai Chisowa @TendaiChisowa]

I'm really trying to find black academics who are building life sciences companies. I will give you money! (after proper diligence of course 😁). Tell yo mama, yo sis, yo wife, yo kids, please. If you just want to bounce ideas, Im here
