Also, among the few to continue along with a Ph.D. being pioneers, I daresay in this sense, I have even seen CUSP grow into the impressive institute it is today. One regret is that I will not be here to go along with all the future developments at CUSP.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI consider my achievement as a testament to the support of a mentor, committee members, and the CUSP community.\u00a0\u00a0I do not have enough words to convey my gratitude towards my mentor Dr. Nauli. As a student training to be involved in high-level research, the guidance provided by my committee members (Drs. Mehvar, Ostrom and Bisoffi) has been invaluable. Without them, I would not have been able to achieve the same level of accomplishments that I have. As I have understood from my time at CUSP, there should always be a drive to be better. Nothing is perfect but having the grit and determination to make the next day better is the way to success. Moving forward, I will be involved in NIH funded research of cardiac myocytes and human airway smooth muscle signaling in Dr. Robert Harvey\u2019s lab. My deepest gratitude to CUSP and the wonderful people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Within five years at CUSP, Dr. Rinzhin Sherpa has published nine peer-reviewed articles and one invited book chapter.\u00a0 Dr. Sherpa is the first or co-first author in 4 of the articles, published in <em>Cells <\/em>and <em>Scientific Reports <\/em>journals.\u00a0 Immediately followed his successful defense, Dr. Sherpa received 4 offers from highly-regarded and respected laboratories around the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;It is a nostalgic moment, parting ways from CUSP after
