she collaborates with harm-reduction groups such as the Red Project in Grand Rapids to ground her models This approach makes her models not just rigorous, but translational—bridging the gap between receptor Her next steps include using floxed mouse models and viral tools to dissect the downstream pathways Real-world data should guide how we build preclinical models. That urgency, more than titles, positions, or prestige, is what sustains a lasting career in science.
