Dante Pertusi accepted into Biotechnology Training Program
The Northwestern Predoctoral Biotechnology Training Program is an interdisciplinary and interdepartmental program, which provides select graduate students (Trainees) greater research and training opportunities than those available through the individual departments.
Congrats, Dante, on the prestigious BTP fellowship!
Victoria Tannenbaum awarded a PBS summer research grant.
Victoria has been awarded a summer research grant by the Program in Biological Sciences for her proposal “Optimization of protein yields in S. cerevisiae via degradation of endocytosis genes CLC1
and RVS161.”
Congratulations Victoria!!!
Divya Venkat awarded WCAS Undergrad Research Grant and Chemistry of Life Processes Research Grant
Divya was awarded a summer fellowship from the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences for her proposal “Developing a Fast-Acting Readout for a Yeast-based Healthcare Diagnostic.”
