Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center’s Alex Salter was listed on Tuesday as a Forbes “30 Under 30,” an annual who’s-who of influencers under age 30 in the U.S. and Canada. The M.D./Ph.D. student in the lab of Dr. Stan Riddell at Fred Hutch made the list of 30 standouts in the health care category.
The magazine says that the honorees in 20 categories represent “a collection of bold risk-takers putting a new twist on the old tools of the trade.”
Salter said that he is “incredibly honored” to be included on the list. “While I am still early on in my career as a physician-scientist, I look forward to making meaningful scientific contributions that will push the limits of medicine and improve lives,” he said.
