Cheyenne Ahamed and Lam Nguyen, 2nd-year students, are celebrating their 1st peer-reviewed publication — a major milestone rarely reached so early in medical training. Mentored by @kevinkumar, their paper shares new perspectives in pediatric cancer care. bit.ly/3WFs66n

Fantastic day with UT Neuroscience PhD student Isabel Moreno in the OR! She’s excelled in the Kumar Lab developing organoids from tumor lines and microglia, and immersed herself in clinical pediatric neuro-oncology. Impressive scientist in the making. @UTexasResearch @UTAustin

Dell Children’s is now ranked #10 in the nation for pediatric cardiology and nationally ranked across 7 specialties — a huge milestone for Central Texas. ❤️👏 This is the power of academic medicine: @DellMedSchool, @uthealthaustin & @dellchildrens working together to deliver…


Wellness night in Austin with the Kumar Lab 🧠➡️🧘‍♂️. Pilates and dinner together — good for our posture, great for our brains, and even better for our team. @vikkohli @cheyenneahamed @BrockCayley @DellMedSchool @dellchildrens

Honored to receive the @DellMedSchool and @dellchildrens Pediatric Research Award for our work studying cognitive recovery in pediatric brain tumor patients. Grateful for the support to push this research forward for children and their families. @PedNeuroscience @UTAustin

Kudos to @kevinkumar, who was recently awarded a K12 grant from @NIH. K12 awards nurture the next generation of clinical research leaders and build a robust pipeline of physician-scientists. The result? More research that will impact health in Central Texas and beyond.

Congrats to @DellMedSchool MS2 @cheyenneahamed on her first-author Neuro-Oncology Advances paper! Her work shows how the pediatric glioma TME creates barriers to immunotherapy and new opportunities for innovation. @EditorNeuro @UTAustin #KumarLab academic.oup.com/noa/advance-ar…

If you are interested in #neurosurgery, try to present your research at neurosurgery meetings (AANS, CNS) and be an outstanding Sub-I! Look for successful surgeon-scientist mentors at the institutions you are interested in - a supportive environment is key to your success

Neurosurgery residency programs are 7 years long, exploring clinical neurosurgery, critical care, and about 30 months of electives (including research). Dr. Kumar recommends applicants pay attention to program size and call burden, surgical volume, and protected research time.
