Four UCLA Amgen Scholars from the 2013 and 2014 cohorts were awarded the Dean’s Prize Medal of Excellence at the 2014 UCLA Science Poster Day. Their work exemplifies excellence in undergraduate research and education. Congratulations to Justin Ondry, Melissa Truong, Justin Toh and Stephanie Wang!
Jenna was one of three graduate students to earn the award from the Georgia Tech Parker H. Petit Institute for Bioengineering & Bioscience
Stacey is part of a group that aims to engineer a photosynthetic bacterium that will use sunlight to produce molecular hydrogen, a potential next-generation fuel. Her individual focus is on engineering the key enzyme used to couple the photosynthetic pathway. Congratulations!
