Tremendous congratulations to Veena Padmanaban on a remarkable double honor: winning the Blavatnik Regional Award for Young Scientists and the Tri-Institutional Breakout Award.

These awards recognize Veena’s groundbreaking work identifying a sensory-neuron-driven axis of breast cancer metastasis — a discovery that has opened an entirely new direction in cancer biology. Couldn’t be prouder.
