CFAR AIT Core Fosters Generations of Mentorship and Discovery
This graduation season, the Duke CFAR celebrates two outstanding scholars whose paths have been shaped and connected through the Advanced Immunotechnology (AIT) Core. Grant Williams, a Duke undergraduate who graduated with distinction, and Danielle Nettere, a trainee who graduated with her MD/PhD degrees, are at different stages in their careers but both embody the spirit of scientific curiosity, dedication, and mentorship that the AIT Core has cultivated across generations. These are just two of the many stories from trainees who have benefited from their interactions with AIT investigators and their teams, helping to shape future generations of scientists.
