Romila Mascarenhas, a postdoctoral researcher in the laboratory of Dr. Ruma Banerjee, has been selected as a 2021 Leading Edge Fellow. Now in its second year, Leading Edge is an initiative to improve the gender diversity of life sciences faculty in the United States by providing women and non-binary postdocs with a platform to present their work, opportunities to meet and connect with one another, and mentorship and career development training from world leaders in biomedical research. Fellows are invited to attend Leading Edge social events and career development training virtually throughout the year, and they present their work during an annual symposium at HHMI's Janelia Research Campus. Congratulations to Romila for earning this distinction!
