What are your long-term career objectives?

“My research goals are to investigate the clinical utility of inhibiting ALKBH5 as a targeted therapeutic approach for osteosarcoma. By exploring the molecular mechanisms by which ALKBH5 promotes osteosarcoma growth and metastasis and assessing the efficacy of an ALKBH5 inhibitor, both as a monotherapy and in combination with chemotherapy. My career objectives are to become a translational scientist, to identify less toxic treatments for cancer patients, and address the critical need for advancements in pediatric cancer therapeutics.”
