Congress’s support of NIH has helped produce 174 Nobel laureates—mostly university-based—and train thousands of young investigators. NIH-funded research drives breakthroughs in cancer, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and more. This partnership is essential to a healthier population.

Congratulations to all the students that participated in our symposium. The event showcased an excellent poster session and highlighted the importance of diversity and inclusion to address health disparities.
We had our 22nd Annual Health Disparities Symposium on August 2 at @LLUHealth's, Centennial Complex. Our program featured poster presentations followed by an evening program with a plenary panel and a recognition ceremony for the participating students.

Congratulations Perla on earning the PhD degree. Your experience overcoming obstacles have made you a stronger person and a promising scientist.
I am incredibly proud of you, Dr. @perla_oa! You have faced every adversity possible, and today, you complete yet another goal. Congratulations Perla! It’s been an incredible pleasure having you as a mentee. You have broken the glass ceiling for all those that will follow.
