This is the 1 year anniversary of moving into our new house 🏡. Today I was unpacking some OLD stuff, and found the microscope 🔬 that my parents gave me for my 7th Birthday 🎂. Happy memories and Divine guidance towards a biomedical researcher!

“It’s been a journey” Shroff told @NBCNews. “I’ve spent my entire life trying to eradicate cancer, primarily pancreatic cancer, but also liver cancers.”

💥 PancreasFest 2026
😥 Christyn Taylor, mother of children with hereditary pancreatitis and great suffering, gives an empasioned plea to physicians and scientists to continue pushing for a cure - and for better pain control. (severity = 15-20 on a scale of 1-10)
👍Christyn started Rebecca's Wish - an NPO to help kids with chronic pancreatitis by helping in diagnosis and sponsoring Camp Hope for the kids.
