Just a little advice for IMGs out there looking for a research job:

Don’t settle, keep looking. You’ll find the right lab and the right team to work with! It’s better to wait a little bit than have a job that makes you miserable.

Special shout-out to my lab, the best one.

Congrats to my team, @Jaganpatweets, @kellenchen_ and @DharshanSivaraj on their recent publication in Nature Biomedical Engineering.

We believe Rac2 could help reduce rates of implant rejection in patients.

Many thanks to the rest of the team!
