The Undergraduate Summer Fellowship Research Awards are awarded annually to outstanding undergraduate researchers. These awards were applied to the undergraduate’s research projects in the summer of 2023.

Congratulations to Amelia McCue and Thanh Phan, who have been selected to receive a Dissertation Completion Fellowship from The Graduate School for AY2023-2024!

The Brantley Award is given out to senior Biology majors for excellence in research in molecular, cell and developmental Biology. Maguire was mentored by Abid Khan in the Strahl lab.

The dissertation award is the highest level of graduate student scholarship. Recipients of the Dean’s Distinguished Dissertation Award are making outstanding contributions.

This publication was for a research project that he was working on at Boston Children’s Hospital before coming to UNC.

In a conversation with Amelia McCue, a 5th-year Ph.D. student in the lab, we tried to unravel what the lab is currently working on. Her work centers on targeted drug delivery, and the big problem she tries to solve involves the design of antibodies that can bind two different things (bi-specific antibodies).

Gage O. Leighton successfully defended his PhD dissertation titled Probing the Importance of MBD2 in the Localization and Formation of the NuRD Complex on April 6th 2023. His thesis work was completed under the direction of Dr. David C. Williams Jr.

Dr. Odessa Goudy successfully defended her thesis, titled “Computational design of autoinhibitory domains for a protease-activated PD-L1 inhibitor” on Friday, February 17th. As a graduate student, Odessa was an active member of Brian Kuhlman’s lab and a student leader within the Biochemistry and Biophysics department.

Our faculty and research assistants presented posters to welcome BBSP-admitted students and encouraged them to join us in our Biological and Biomedical Sciences Program at UNC Chapel Hill.
