\n

Jingjing Sun, PhD, assistant professor of pharmaceutical sciences in the UNMC College of Pharmacy, came to UNMC about a year ago. It was her first time as an independent scientist. She\u2019d been a successful researcher at the University of Pittsburgh. But now she would be running her own lab. That\u2019s a huge change. It was her big break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was nervous. She was excited. All those things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, just about a year later, she\u2019s received her first R01 grant as a principal investigator, from the National Institutes of Health\u2019s National Cancer Institute.<\/p>\n\n\n

Jingjing Sun, PhD<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

An R01 is \u201cfor mature research projects that are hypothesis-driven with strong preliminary data,\u201d according to the NIH. It\u2019s also often seen as a career benchmark \u2013 validation that a scientist is making significant progress in her field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a tremendous accomplishment,\u201d said Aaron Mohs, PhD, pharmacy\u2019s associate dean for research and graduate studies. \u201cEspecially in your first year as a new faculty member.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did she come so far so fast?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many factors to success. But Dr. Sun used the word \u201csupport\u201d time and time and time again. The UNMC College of Pharmacy, the department of pharmaceutical sciences, the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center, the Nebraska Center for Molecular Target Discovery & Development and more \u2013 each stepped forward to support her effort to find her path to success, Dr. Sun said. As did many individual faculty and staff colleagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The support through this transition was intentional, UNMC College of Pharmacy leaders confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe college has a philosophy when recruiting new faculty,\u201d said Keith Olsen, PharmD, Joseph D. Williams Endowed Dean. \u201cWe first recruit the best and brightest to come to UNMC. We then give them the resources and mentorship to be successful. Finally, we do not overburden the faculty member with other tasks, to allow them to start on the path to success. Dr. Sun\u2019s success is a result of this pathway.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ram Mahato, PhD, Dr. Sun\u2019s chair, concurred. First, he said, Dr. Sun deserves full credit: \u201cThe main thing is Dr. Sun herself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second, this shows they picked the right person, he said. The college works hard to identify and hire excellent candidates. Dr. Sun is the latest example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll of our new hires,\u201d Dr. Mahato said. \u201cAaron Mohs, Corey Hopkins, Paul Trippier, Don Ronning, Martin Conda Sheridan \u2026 our new hires are superstars.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the college of pharmacy makes a conscious effort allow these new hires to concentrate on building their labs and working on their research in this first year or so, before adding other duties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a huge transition to keep doing research while also setting up a lab, establishing a good team, serving as a mentor and obtaining internal and external funding to keep the operation running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The college of pharmacy was well positioned to help her make this dramatic transition, Dr. Sun said. She was assigned an official mentor, Jered Garrison, PhD, professor of pharmaceutical sciences. He is a tremendous resource for questions big or small. Her department chair, Dr. Mahato, contributes to the supportive environment, she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those who had recruited her to UNMC, including Dean Olsen and search committee chair Don Ronning, PhD, professor of pharmaceutical sciences, continued to be there for her to ensure things were going well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Nebraska Center for Molecular Target Discovery and Development, a COBRE led by Robert Lewis, PhD, also provided resources and support to a new independent scientist, including mentorship with Dr. Mohs and Amar Natarajan, PhD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey give me a lot of advice,\u201d Dr. Sun said. \u201cAnd not just the people whose names I mentioned, actually a lot of the colleagues have been there to help.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But a key aspect of this support, Dr. Mahato said, is that it is quiet and behind the scenes. It is support, not direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe want her to lead,\u201d Dr. Mahato said. And Dr. Sun has.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Sun said an especially empowering aspect of this support is insight into the funding mechanisms available at UNMC. Dr. Sun noted that a pilot grant from the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center and funding supports from Dr. Lewis\u2019 COBRE and the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services have proven crucial to her ability to get her lab up and running and initiate new projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI really appreciate these supports,\u201d she said. \u201cThat means a lot to a junior faculty that just started her own lab.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In her lab, Dr. Sun, left, works with post-doc researcher Narayani Prasad Kar, PhD, center, and Alaa Aboushanab, a graduate studies student.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

She began with just one student working for her and now has a workforce of five. Two postdoctoral scholars and three students with, hopefully, another postdoc coming soon. She said building her team may have been the biggest step to take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am still in the learning process,\u201d she said, of identifying perfect fits for her lab. \u201cI prefer to establish an interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary research group with many different backgrounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSome came from a chemistry background, some biology backgrounds, some pharmacy backgrounds. I like people with all these different expertise and backgrounds, because our program is highly interdisciplinary research.\u201d<\/p>\nsnhA vAKmDGyYOBp<\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
