The $165K award will fund five summer researchers annually. Spearheaded by Program Director, Jonathan Schisler, the program aims to inspire undergraduate students toward careers in cardiovascular research. Becky Sanchez is Program Coordinator, Leon Coleman is an advisory board member, and Edward Bahnson’s and Brian Jensen’s labs are partners with the program.
Pharmacology graduate student Kaitlan Smith was recently awarded a diversity supplement from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) to study the effects of aging and necroptosis. She shares her resilient journey into scientific research while reflecting on her Lumbee roots.
The grant, “Observing Molecules in Context with 4Pi Lattice Light Sheet Nanoscopy,” is part of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative’s (CZI) Dynamic Imaging projects.
The award will fund her scholarly pursuits over one year. Congratulations, Liz!
Dr. DiBerto successfully defended his thesis, “Discovery Campaigns for Pharmacologically Unique Agonists at the Mu-Opioid and 5-Hydroxytryptamine 2A Receptors on Jan. 19.”
Kaeli Welsh, PhD student in Nicholas Brown’s lab, received the Pre-doctoral Fellowship for her project, “Visualizing Essential Molecular Mechanisms That Promote Mitotic Exit.”
Emily won the Impact Award for her project “Multi-omic Analysis of Pharmacological ClpP Activation in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Cells.
The NIH fellowship will support Madigan’s research in Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome.
Led by graduate student Jeff DiBerto, the UNC School of Medicine lab of Bryan Roth teamed with scientists in China to publish detailed structures of the entire human opioid receptor family to guide the creation of more targeted pain medications.
