Collin Stabler, PhD student, was awarded a fellowship from the NASA Graduate Student Research Program on the topic of "Enhanced Differentiation of Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells in NASA-Developed Rotating Wall Vessel (RWV) for Pulmonary Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine". The fellowship includes ten weeks each year working at the Johnson Space Center in Houston TX with the inventor of the RWV, Dr. David Wolf.

Gregory Botta, MD/PhD student, received a graduate award to attend the meeting of Nobel Laureates in Lindau, Germany this summer. Since 1951, Nobel Laureates in chemistry, physics, and physiology/medicine convene annually in Lindau, Germany, to have open and informal meetings with students and young researchers.
