Congrats to Shahina Alibekova for receiving a SOURCE Award this summer from Syracuse University on the role of vimentin and lateral line formation. This work is taking off from a great foundation set by a previous undergraduate Alison Gerety, who just won an award for outstanding research as a Biology student! Congrats Alison! Alison was also a previous SOURCE Scholar.

Alison is moving into her senior year and will be investigating the role of spatial and temporal MT pattern formation. This work is supported by Syracuse University’s SOURCE, which also supported Abdalla’s summer research on cilia formation in the KV.
Jonah Da Silva did an excellent job presenting his undergraduate research project last Wednesday at our summer research festival. Great job Jonah!
