Congratulations to Hugo Pinheiro, recipient of the Mhari Saito Scholarship for 2015.
Pinheiro is a post-doctoral fellow at the Institute of Pathology and Molecular Immunology of the University of Porto in Portugal. He has a special interest in rare syndromes, such as Hereditary Diffuse Gastric Cancer, which he says tend to attract less attention from the research community overall. Pinheiro plans to complete his MD in June of this year and continue his research with a focus on gastric cancer.
