Joe runs in the 11th annual Damon Runyon 5K at Yankee Stadium on Saturday, May 11, 2019!

Text from Damon Runyon: 
"More than 2,100 runners, walkers, cancer survivors, and their friends and family members gathered at Yankee Stadium to raise funds for cancer research.  One of New York’s most unique fundraising events, the Runyon 5K is the only charitable run/walk that uses the iconic Stadium as its course.  100% of donations raised by Runyon 5K participants will directly support innovative young scientists funded by the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation.  Since inception, the event has raised more than $5.6 million."

Joe attends the 8th Congress of the International BioIron Society held at the EMBL Advanced Training Centre in
Heidelberg, Germany. Joe presents a talk on: ​Ncoa4-mediated ferritinophagy maintains murine erythropoiesis via cell autonomous and non-autonomous mechanisms. The meeting was a great opportunity to catch up with collaborators and hear some exciting new iron metabolism research.

At the closing awards ceremony, Joe is awarded the Best Clinical and Translational Research Award!
