Lab values

We value positive mental attitudes, mutual respect, teamwork, honesty, trust, and open communication.
Our research is built around changing the standard of care for pediatric solid tumors.
We are not limited by anything other than the diseases we study. Therefore, we promote asking new questions, developing novel models, and generating new assays. We value pushing the current limits.
Mistakes are not bad or wrong. Some mistakes lead to interesting findings.
Work-life balance and personal happiness are key to success. Happy people make the best scientists.

My priorities as your mentor are to support your maturation as a scientist and the development of the career that you envision for yourself.

I will be your major mentor; I will work alongside you.
I will expose you to all aspects of my career as an academic scientist, and I will expect you to contribute to many of these aspects.
I support non-traditional opportunities that will push you further on your unique career path.
I value your mastering of non-didactic skills and will give you opportunities to do this.
