As an immigrant who took a leap of faith 4 years ago to pursue a research career @DukeU, I'm excited to share that I was just promoted to Associate Professor, tenure track @DukeAdultID.
Thanks to my awesome mentors, peers, sponsors, and to those who wrote my letters.
Today, I saw a note (by non-ID person) on one of the patients that I am following:
#Pyuria: will not treat or order #UrineCulture as patient does not have genitourinary symptoms. Note that change in odor, though reported, is non-specific.
Me: My life is complete.
Grateful to be recognized by @dukemedicine for exceptional research!
Since receiving my US permanent residency in 2020, I have maintained continuous research funding, and focused on diagnostic challenges around #UTIs, that primarily impact women and older adults. @CAIRIBU1
