The Genomics Scholars Program
November 16, 2009
The Center for Vertebrate Genomics is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2010 Genomics Scholars Awards. We received a variety of excellent applications and applaud all the applicants on their submissions. The variety of projects funded to date reflects the diversity of genomic research performed by the members of the CVG. Congratulations to this year's recipients:
- Ms. Amanda Cass, 5th year graduate student, McCune laboratory, for "Examining the expression of critical lung morphogenesis genes in the swimbladders of fishes."
- Dr. Sha Haibo, postdoctoral fellow, Qi Laboratory, for "Identifying the roles of ATF6 in Adipogenesis Using the Systems Biology Approaches."
- Dr. Hooman Moghadam, postdoctoral fellow, Sutter laboratory, for "The role of naturally occurring retrotransposon mutagenesis in rapid diversification of complex traits in the dog."
