Congratulations to Dr. Mohamad El Moheb who received the 2024 Basic Science/Translational Research Trainee Fellowship Award from the Association for Academic Surgery (AAS). This is a highly competitive award, worth $30,000, given to a one surgery resident in the nation to pursue their project. Dr. El Moheb’s project will investigate how preoperative exercise therapy modulates the immune microenvironment to protect the liver from colorectal cancer metastasis. He will work on this project under the mentorship of Dr. Allan Tsung and will present his work at the 2026 ASC meeting. This is the first time a surgery resident from UVA has received this award!
