I’m a scientist and mountaineer, and so I love to push the limits of what is possible in laboratory and on the mountain side. Damon Runyon supports bold and risky scientific programs with the potential to ultimately transform the lives of patients. As a Damon Runyon postdoctoral fellow, I’ve been fortunate to benefit from this mission. Now, I am joining the Kilimanjaro Timmerman Traverse to help raise money for the next group of scientists who will push the boundaries of knowledge in the pursuit of bold and innovative tools in the fight against cancer.
