Wrote about how I got into tissue science and why 3D imaging is reshaping how we understand disease. open.substack.com/pub/savanh1/...

I partnered with the Chicana Latina Foundation because most students aren’t exposed to tissue diagnostics, spatial bio, or advanced imaging. These areas are growing faster than the existing talent pipeline. The scholarship helps direct early scientists into fields where future innovation is needed.

First-gen scientists rarely see fields like tissue diagnostics or spatial biology. I started a STEM/Innovation Scholarship with the Chicana Latina Foundation to change that and build the next pipeline of innovators. Fundraising details soon.

I founded a STEM/Innovation Scholarship with the Chicana Latina Foundation to support the next generation of scientists. The 2026 cycle is underway, and I’ll be opening a fundraising campaign soon to expand the award. More details to come.

Most breakthroughs start in tissue. People forget that.

Spatial biology and tissue diagnostics will define the next decade of medicine.
