WHEN HE WAS A PRACTIC-<br />
ING DENTIST, Dayo [pronounced<br />
DYE-oh] Oluwadara<br />
enjoyed having people “come<br />
to your dental chair with pain and troubles, and<br />
like a miracle, they would leave happy.” As he<br />
nears completion of a PhD in cellular and molecular<br />
pathology, Dayo sees his cancer research<br />
through the lens of that experience: “What I<br />
do on the bench could impact people at the<br />
bedside,” he says; he might help to discover a<br />
treatment “that could bring joy to patients in<br />
the hospital.”<br />
