Reflections on mentorship as an early career researcher

Dorothy A Lerit. Mol Biol Cell. .

Abstract

It is my great honor to receive the 2022 Günter Blobel Early Career Award from the American Society for Cell Biology. Reflecting upon my research and career trajectory, I recognize the incredible support of my mentors and the hard work of everyone within my lab. I have always relied on a network of advisors and colleagues who supported me throughout my scientific journey. To better support my own trainees, I endeavor to pass on lessons learned while continuously developing and strengthening my own leadership potential. I am a relentless advocate for the success of my trainees, a legacy I pass on from my own mentors.
