Michael McNeil, Director of the St. Jude Global Palliative Care Program, shared on LinkedIn:
“Less than 4 weeks to go and I am just about 90% to my goal! Thank you to all those who have donated.
This week as I train for the St. Jude Half Marathon, I am highlighting another of my colleagues I work with at St. Jude Global.
Mukkada Sheena is a pediatric infectious disease specialist and Director of the St. Jude Global Infection Management. Her research works across the spectrum of implementation of best practices from evidence-based guideline development to implementation of these best practices in resource-variable settings. Additionally, she leads initiatives in a global Fever Registry for children diagnosed with cancer and antimicrobial stewardship.
Sheena has the misfortune of having her office right next to mine. She has been incredibly patient with me and is a great sounding board when I am troubleshooting problems with a research initiative or project. She has been absolutely essential in thinking through a methodologically rigorous approach to global palliative care guideline development and always answer my questions graciously and provides me exactly the solutions I need to tackle the problems I face.
If able, please consider donating to my fundraiser for the St. Jude Half Marathon so that Dr. Mukkada and other amazing researchers can continue their incredible clinical work and research.
