We are pleased to announce the recipients of the $1200 Travel Awards for the month of February, funded by the generous donations of the late Dr. John Porter, a former professor in the Department, the Markey Foundation, and Paul Dietrich, an alumnus who worked under Dr. Robert Metzenberg.
These awards support graduate students and post-doctoral fellows in the Department of Biomolecular Chemistry who are presenting research at academic conferences. This year’s recipients have demonstrated exceptional academic work and are committed to advancing their research through these travel opportunities.
