therapeutic options for patients with leukemia and lymphoma.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>The best advice I&rsquo;ve ever received is: <\/b><\/p>\n<p>My postdoctoral mentor told me not to be afraid to do the big experiment and not worry about the cost, because the impact of the discoveries could make it all worth it.This advice had a huge impact on my success as an independent
