Past Awards
Sean McClory, an OSBP post-doctoral student in the Kurt Fredrick lab, won an RNA Biology Institute Graduate Fellowship (2011). We congratulate Sean on becoming an RNA fellow and Kurt Fredrick, Ph. D on mentoring an excellent student. We are sure that Sean will help us to understand the ribosome much better in the near future. Good luck!
Sarah Carver was invited to attend a course/workshop on biofuels called The Advanced Course on Biochemistry of Biofuels in Ubatuba, São Paulo (Brazil). It was a worldwide application process that is jointly sponsored by the American, International and Brazilian Societies for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB, IUBMB and SBBq). Contratulations, Sarah!
