Sharanya Nag #MSKPostdoc in the @saratchandarlapaty.bsky.social Lab identifies activating ERBB2 mutations as a potential biomarker of trastuzumab deruxtecan sensitivity, expanding treatment options for patients w/metastatic breast cancer, including those with HER2 IHC 0 tumors.
#NPAW2026🇮🇳

#BestPartOfScience: connecting scientific discovery to patient care. I study how cancers develop resistance to targeted therapies, with the goal of uncovering new treatment strategies that could ultimately benefit patients. #CareerAdvice: Coming from an RNA biology PhD into translational oncology, one of my biggest lessons was to not be afraid to step into a new field. Your training gives you a unique perspective, even when you're still learning. Ask for help, share your ideas, and remember that setbacks are part of the process, not a reflection of your potential. #FunFact: Outside the lab, I enjoy baking, reading fiction, painting, and traveling. These hobbies help me stay curious, think creatively, and return to science with fresh perspectives. Sharanya Nag, PhD Chandarlapaty Lab National Postdoc Appreciation Week September 2026

Meet #MSKPostdoc Emmet Huang-Hobbs (@ehuanghobbs.bsky.social) from the @sawyerslabmskcc.bsky.social. Emmet uses prostate organoid models to elucidate how tumors and neurons talk to and influence one another’s behavior.​‌
#NPAW2026 🇺🇸🇨🇦

#BestPartOfScience: Constantly learning and discovering new things. Building and applying new tools to uncover biological insights is incredibly rewarding and keeps science endlessly exciting. #BecomingAScientist: From studying paleontology and ecology as an undergraduate to researching neuroscience and cancer, I have always been fascinated by how individuals interact within complex systems, whether in forests or within tumors and their microenvironments. #CareerAdvice: Never give up. Breakthroughs may get the spotlight, but science is built on the persistence to keep going when experiments fail. #FunFact: Outside the lab, I enjoy powerlifting. It has taught me to value progress over perfection, trust the process, and appreciate how small, consistent efforts compound over time. Emmet Huang-Hobbs, PhD Sawyers Lab National Postdoc Appreciation Week September 2026

#MSKPostdoc Jonah Rosas (@jonahrosas.bsky.social), leader of the MSK-PDA Social Committee and a postdoc in the @mashaakhmanovalab.bsky.social Lab, studies how macrophages move through complex tissue environments, with the goal of developing new immune-based therapies for solid tumors.
#NPAW2026

#BestPartOfScience: As a scientist, we get to operate at the boundary of the unknown. We get to formulate and tackle questions that no one else has thought to ask before. That sense of stepping into the frontier is exhilarating, and it's a privilege to get to do what we do. With it, we have a responsibility to be stewards of good science and effective communicators. #BecomingAScientist: As a survivor of pediatric Hodgkin's Lymphoma, I have an intimate relationship with how scientific advances save lives. That singular life experience sparked my passion for cancer biology, and I hope my work influences how we think about therapeutic development.  #FunFact: As an extrovert, I love connecting with people across disciplines. Some of the best scientific ideas and collaborations start with a simple conversation over coffee. Jonah Rosas, PhD Akhmanova Lab National Postdoc Appreciation Week September 2026
@mskeducation.bsky.socialSep 30, 2026, 1:38 PM

Meet #MSKPostdoc Laura Berneking from the Niec Lab who studies how infections can leave a lasting “memory” in 🩸 blood-forming stem cells, reshaping how the immune system responds to future infections and cancer.
#NPAW2026

#BecomingAScientist: Science was part of my life from the very beginning. My mother studied biology while she was pregnant with me, and I spent much of my childhood in the botanical garden with her. Later, during school, I was mesmerized by the albino frogs in her laboratory. I honestly cannot remember ever imagining that I would become anything other than a scientist. #CareerAdvice: Follow the questions that excite you, even if they lead beyond your original field. I started as bacteriologist and eventually found my way into immunology and cancer biology by pursuing curiosity wherever it led. #FunFact: Outside the lab, I enjoy watercolor painting and traveling. I have visited around 80 countries, and both hobbies fuel the curiosity and creativity I bring to science. Laura Berneking, MD PhD Niec Lab National Postdoc Appreciation Week September 2026
@mskeducation.bsky.socialSep 30, 2026, 1:37 PM

Meet #MSKPostdoc Marc Nater (@marcntr.bsky.social) from the @marasherman.bsky.social Lab. Marc studies how pancreatic cancer hijacks surrounding supporting cells to spread and resist treatment.

#MSKPostdoc Bujamin "Ben" Vokshi (@vokshib.bsky.social), co-leader of the MSK PDA Parent Committee and a postdoc in the Massague Lab, studies how metastatic 🫁 adenocarcinoma develops resistance to targeted therapies and how to overcome it to make treatments last longer.
#NPAW2026 🇫🇷🇦🇱

#BestPartOfScience: Turning curiosity into discovery and helping others understand why it matters. While I enjoy tackling complex questions in cancer biology, the most rewarding part is sharing knowledge and inspiring curiosity in others. #BecomingAScientist: I came to cancer research after losing family members to the disease more than 15 years ago. Seeing the progress made since then transformed grief into purpose, and at MSK, I have the opportunity to turn that purpose into discoveries that may ultimately benefit patients. #FunFact: Outside the lab, I practice karate. It has taught me patience, humility, and the value of consistent effort, lessons that apply just as much to science as they do to martial arts. Bujamin Vokshi, PhD Massagué Lab National Postdoc Appreciation Week September 2026
@mskeducation.bsky.socialSep 28, 2026, 7:48 PM

Meet #MSKPostdoc Lila Neahring from the Zallen Lab. Lila studies how epithelial tissues form during mammalian development, a process essential for building new organs and one that may also be co-opted during cancer metastasis.
#NPAW2026 🇺🇸

#BestPartOfScience: The moments when you see something unexpected and realize you’ve unlocked something brand new about how cells work. #BecomingAScientist: I was fascinated by both how much we know about life at the cellular and molecular level and how much remains to be discovered. That curiosity led me to a career in science. #CareerAdvice: Show a non-scientist friend one of your movies from the microscope (or your protein structure, or whatever you work on), and their reaction will probably remind you how cool your job is. #FunFact: Outside the lab, I enjoy bouldering. Tackling the same climbing "project" for months or even years has taught me persistence and resilience, a mindset that has been invaluable in my scientific research.

Meet #MSKPostdoc Ying Liang from the Shu Lab. Her research uses large-scale genomic and health data to identify inherited risk factors for breast cancer, particularly triple-negative disease, and transform these insights into better prevention.
#NPAW2026 🇭🇰

#BestPartOfScience: The freedom to dig deep into unanswered questions. I study how inherited genetic variation influences breast cancer risk, helping uncover patterns that can improve our understanding of disease and human health. #BecomingAScientist: After working in industry, I realized I was more interested in the questions than the projects themselves. That curiosity led me back to school for a PhD in epidemiology and biostatistics. #CareerAdvice: Focus on questions more than methods. Tools will evolve, but the ability to ask meaningful questions and test important ideas is what sustains a successful scientific career. #FunFact: Swimming and hiking are my time away from a screen.
