The award supports a key period of growth toward becoming an independent physician scientist, guided by my research mentor Dr. Jeffrey Gordon and the WashU GI Division led by Dr. Nicholas Davidson. I am thankful for this chance to learn research expertise, new ways of thinking, and leadership skills from such a rich training environment. The AGA award is an endorsement of their belief in our future success.
