Prof Ambroise Wonkam, a member of the Institute & an award-winning geneticist for work in sickle cell disease, recently completed a three-year term as Deputy Dean for Research at @UCTHealthSci. Wonkam is one of two recipients of the 2020 Alan Pifer Award: bit.ly/3luEVPu
I guess we can all just share the gold in imposter syndrome.

I failed biology in first year & got academically excluded as a result. Today I work in bioinformatics, a field whose foundation is biology. I think the universe has a funny way of healing us and showing us that anything is possible. Don’t give up. Don’t stop trying. You’ll win!
