Abstract 3932: Tumor MK2 Signaling Regulates Cell Migration and Invasion in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

What are your long-term career objectives? 

My goal is to be a distinguished physician-scientist practicing medical oncology and studying mechanisms to cancer metastasis. The spread of cancer is truly what leads to mortality in the vast majority of cancer patients, so I want to dedicate my career to understanding and hopefully uncovering treatments for metastatic tumors. All in all, I want to do my part to revolutionize care for all cancer patients, especially the disadvantaged.
