The great part of #SAAS2026 is not only the research and science, but catching up with old friends, great mentors and meeting new members. Look forward to next year’s meeting in Hawaii @AsianAcadSurg @RomeoIgnacio18
Amazing to see and hear one of my favorite surgical mentors from @CincyChildrens - the legend Victor Garcia sharing his personal journey and his lifelong mission to improve pediatric trauma and health equity. #SAAS2026
Proud to see @TejalSB deliver his Presidential address at #SAAS2026 ! He reflected on those who helped him up the academic ladder and the importance of looking back and helping the next generation. @AsianAcadSurg
A terrific Kuo Family lecture by past president of @AmerMedicalAssn @BobbyMukkamala where he discussed his personal journey, his health journey and the state of medicine today. #SAAS20206
Proud to see our friend, mentor, and sponsor @kmura0525 receive the 2026 @AsianAcadSurg George Yang Trailblazer Award. He has been a constant force in SAAS from the beginning. #SAAS2026
Thrilled to see this work come to publication! From a curious observation to a better understanding of the sequelae of #immunotherapy in #neuroblastoma - from initial work by @akzamora7 and @Michael_Zobel to @steph_y_chen and @william_ghh_lee !

What an amazing honor to serve as the 25th Glicklich Visiting Professor at @MCWSurgery @childrenswi - so great to visit so many friends from academic surgery and meet new faculty and residents. Grateful for the opportunity.
A real pleasure to have @AndrewMCameron present Grand Rounds at @CedarsSinai on the advancing work in #xenotransplantation. Excited to see this come to fruition in the near future.
