We found out last night that the study section scheduled to review our R01 resubmission was cancelled 24hrs before the review. We spent months conducting experiments, writing and revising this proposal for prostate cancer research that represents 4 years of work. @theNCI @NIH

This week, Ramadan, Passover, and Easter overlap, which only happens three times each century. Thus a rare and special occasion for a large portion of the global population & a time for all communities to come together and make a common call for compassion, inclusion and peace.

Our lab located @hopkinskimmel & @bloombergkimmel focuses on the role of immune infiltrate, notably tumor associated macrophages, in lethal prostate cancer and targeting them to overcome tumor immunity. @BlackinCancer #BlackinCancerWeek #BICRollCall

Thank you to my alma mater @JacksonStateU for this feature! I began my prostate cancer research journey there as an undergraduate student in the laboratory of the late and great Dr. Stephen Ekunwe.

The @Zarif_Lab is and will always be committed to training the next generation of talented prostate cancer immunologists, especially Black trainees and others from groups that are under-represented in science and medicine. Our lab photo is a representation of this commitment.
