Three Department of Chemistry Graduate Students Receive Outstanding Paper and Poster Awards at the Arts & Sciences Grad Expo 2010

March 29, 2010 - 6:45am

The winners are: Outstanding Paper: Keith Moquin, "Tonic Autoinhibition Contributes to the Heterogeneity of Evoked Dopamine Release in the Rat Striatum."   Outstanding Poster: Danielle Gombos, "Comprehensive Analysis of Age-Dependent Changes in the Immune-Related Proteome of Senescence-Accelerated Mice."   Outstanding Poster: Brandon Mills, "Computer Simulations of a Thermodynamic Tug-of-War within an Engineered Two-Domain Protein Switch."   The Grad Expo, which was held in the William Pitt Union Ballroom, had both paper panels and poster presentations in order to allow students from a variety of disciplines to present their research to graduate students, post-docs and faculty from across the college of Arts & Sciences.  Approximately 20 students presented their research in poster form during the poster session.  Ten judges--including faculty, post-docs, and graduate students from across the Arts & Sciences evaluated the poster presentations.  Based on judging sheets, the top five presenters were determined and each was awarded $100.00 to be reimbursed for travel to a conference or for the purchase of materials germane to their research.
