I am honored to receive the LSRMP award as I prepare to begin my faculty appointment at Washington University in July 2026 with a focus on lymphoma. This program provides dedicated mentorship, protected time, and national collaboration that will directly support my work developing a clinical trial utilizing personalized neoantigen vaccines for patients with follicular lymphoma. Our goal is to help patients achieve longer remissions with fewer treatment-related toxicities, and I believe this study represents an important step toward that vision.
