STUDENT SPOTLIGHT

Congratulations to Adam Locke who has received a Fellowship from the American Heart Association to study genetic variation contributing to congenital heart defects in people with Down syndrome. Funding starts July 1, 2008 and is for 2 years. The fellowship funds his stipend and is meant to support his continuing research training on quantitative methods in human genetic analysis. Adam is studying with Dr. Stephanie Sherman.

Congratulations to NaTasha Hollis who was awarded the M.A.R.C. Predoctoral Fellowship for my research. The grant title is "Genome-wide recombination as a risk factor for nondisjunction." NaTasha is studying with Dr. Stephanie Sherman.

Congratulations to Nathan (Nate) Mortimer who was awarded a predoctoral fellowship from the American Heart Association for his proposal entitled "The Archipelago ubiquitin ligase regulates tubular morphogenesis during Drosophila development." Nate is studying with Dr. Ken Moberg.

Congratulations to Veronica Henderson who was recently awarded an Individual NRSA Minority Predoctoral Fellowship from the National Institutes of Health. This three-year fellowship supports research towards the PhD degree. Veronica's project is entitled "The Role of Rap1 Signaling in Prostate Cancer Progression."
