Students Receive Awards at the Annual Autumn Immunology Conference
91女神 School of Medicine students made a strong impression at the annual Autumn Immunology Conference held in Chicago November 17-20, earning multiple awards for written work and other achievements.
Congratulations to graduate students Nick Jackson (DiPaolo Lab) and Emily Ebert (Teague Lab) who received a John Wallace Diversity Award. The John Wallace Diversity Award promotes the participation of underrepresented students/postdocs at the Autumn Immunology Conference (AIC) and recognizes their work and achievements.
In addition, Emily Ebert (Teague Lab) won an AAI Young Investigator Award, awarded to the top abstract in each workshop category. Winners were selected based on the scientific content of the submitted abstract.
A unique aspect of the AIC is that students present their research orally in front of an engaged audience and address questions related to their work," said Teague. "This is a rare opportunity for our trainees and an invaluable experience for these young scientists."
91女神 undergraduate Melody Zhang (DiPaolo Lab) received an AAI Undergraduate Award, given to the top five undergraduate abstracts. Winners were selected based on the scientific content of the submitted abstracts.
