The Pew Charitable Trusts has announced the 2024 class of scholars and fellows, recognizing 37 researchers for their contributions to biomedical sciences. Among the honorees, Sara Prescott from MIT plans to study the role of neurons in airway remodeling responses, which are crucial to understanding diseases like asthma and COPD. Jesse Dixon from the Salk Institute has been named a Pew Biomedical Scholar. Evanna Mills and Brenda Nakagaki from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have also been honored, with Mills focusing on biomedical sciences and Nakagaki as a Latin American Fellow. Additionally, Binyam Mogessie will advance research on cytoskeletal organization and chromosome segregation mechanisms in female meiosis. The research areas of the new scholars include brain cancer, respiratory infections, antibiotic resistance, and metabolism.
Congrats on @pewtrusts honors for @DanaFarber's Evanna Mills, PhD, a Scholar in the Biomedical Sciences, and Brenda Nakagaki, PhD, a Latin American Fellow in the Biomedical Sciences. Their discoveries hold promise for a healthier future. Press release ➡️ https://t.co/DAlHHJkql6 https://t.co/CQB18FLHr5
Excited to join the community of Pew Scholars. With the support of @pewtrusts we will continue to advance understanding of cytoskeletal organization and chromosome segregation mechanisms in female #meiosis #oocytes #eggs #cytoskeleton #fertility let’s go! https://t.co/81r6okqMXM
