Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology Graduate Students Win Research Awards

Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology students are doing extremely well and making all of us very proud. Our students made significant contributions to The Daniel T. Watts Research (Poster) Symposium and impressed everyone with their presentations. At the Massey Cancer Center Research Retreat,our students and postdoctoral fellows had many outstanding posters. Two out of the three top awards for best presentations went to Biochemistry & Molecular Biology graduate students. Congratulations to Heidi Sankala (Dr. Sarah Spiegel’s laboratory), who received a first place "Excellence in Cancer Research" award, and to Becky Frum (Dr. Swati Deb’s laborataory), who received the second place award.

In addition, Pretti Subramanian (Dr. Charles Chalfant’s laboratory) received the Biochemical Journal Award at the 39th Annual Southeastern Regional Lipid Conference for her outstanding presentation of her research on ceramide-1-phosphate as an activator of cytosolic phospholipase A2.

Congratulations to all who participated in these research symposia.
