Several other group members also gave presentations at regional and national conferences, including Kevin (ACS Meeting in Miniature), Sara (ASBMB & 2024 Intersections), Anshul (2024 Intersections), Era (2025 Intersections and BMES meeting), Christie (2025 Intersections), Aysha (CGSA Career Panel), and Heather (C2RS and CGSA Career Panel), with Heather winning best poster and Aysha earning second-best poster at the CGSA Career Panel. Additionally, Era, Sara, and Anshul secured Summer Undergraduate Research Awards, and Sara was honored with a prestigious Goldwater Scholarship.
