Fumiko Ladd Chino: Updating my bio for ASTRO24
Fumiko Ladd Chino shared a post on X:
“Updating my bio for ASTRO24: Assistant Professor in Radiation Oncology at MD Anderson Cancer Center.
It’s bittersweet to leave my amazing colleagues at Memorial Sloan Kettering Radiation Oncology, I have really thrived here.
But excited to return home to Houston and for my new collaborators in Texas starting September 2024.
Happy ASTRO24 abstract notification day! I am excited to present (first time in a while) and to meet up with colleagues, collaborators, and friends in DC.
LOVE THIS GUIDELINE for the ‘Culture of Respect’. Treatments may fail patients but patients don’t ‘fail’ anything.”
