Dr. Bashir Lawal received “Gottfried Family Women’s Health Fellowship Award

Congratulations to Dr. Bashir Lawal for receiving the “Gottfried Family Women’s Health Fellowship Award” from Foundation of Women Wellness (FWW) for his research project “Functional and mechanistic characterization of kinase intragenic rearrangements in high-grade serous carcinoma progression and recurrence”. FWW Fellowship Awards recognize and support emerging physicians and scientists working on critical women’s health projects.  High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) accounts for up to 80% of ovarian cancer mortality, and overall survival has not been improved for decades due to the lack of actionable genetic drivers. Bashir’s work is focused on evaluating the oncogenic function of kinase intragenic rearrangements and examine the underlying molecular mechanisms in HGSC. 

Bashir thanks Dr Wang for his outstanding mentorship, and the lab members for their supports.
