The MCP program once again extends our congratulations to Hung-An Ting, pre-doctoral graduate student mentored by Nick Lukacs. Hung-An was selected as a recipient of an AAI Trainee Poster Award at The American Association of Immunologists annual meeting May 8th - 12th in New Orleans, LA. This award provides travel support to AAI trainee members whose first author abstracts are selected for poster sessions and found to be exceptional by the AAI Abstract Programming Chairs. Selection is based on the originality and significance of the research being presented. |

Congratulations to Talha Anwar, pre-doctoral graduate student in the Kleer lab on receiving a Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) Individual Predoctoral MD/PhD Fellowship (F30). This three year grant will support Talha's thesis project titled "Non- canonical functions of EZH2 in triple-negative breast cancers." His project investigates the mechanistic and functional contributions of EZH2, a protein found significantly elevated in triple- negative breast cancers, and focuses on the development of new prognostic indicators for aggressive TNBCs. Kudos to Talha! |

Congratulations to Sierrah Grigsby, pre-doctoral graduate student in the Nikolovska-Coleska lab on being selected to participate in the prestigious 2015 National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP). Starting in May 2015 this fellowship will provide 3 years of support which will allow Sierrah to work on her thesis related to understanding the protein-protein interaction of histone methyltransferase, disruptor of telomeric silencing 1-like (DOT1L), with known and novel proteins. Sierrah is "looking forward to the progression of this project" and is very thankful for her mentor's and the support of the MCP program. |
