A huge round of applause for Hagar who successfully defended her thesis titled “Inflammatory-Based Therapies Driven by Intervertebral Disc Injury Responses” on November 20, 2023! Years of late nights, everlasting friendships, endless memories, and even caffeine-fueled breakthroughs have culminated in this incredible achievement! While we wish you can stay here forever, we are all so proud and happy for your next chapter. Best of luck at UPenn and we all know you will continue to accomplish great things!

Congratulations, Dr. Kenawy!
