Congratulations! This is ASCB's highest honor for science and is presented to distinguished researchers for their far-reaching contributions to cell biology over a lifetime in science.

Congratulations to all of our graduating seniors! Our seniors gave lightning talks on the projects they have worked on during their time in lab. Great job everyone!

Denise Montell interviewed Jennifer Doudna, a Nobel Laureate, at a UCSB Arts and Lectures event. Dr. Jennifer Doudna earned the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for co-developing CRISPR-Cas9 genome engineering technology.

Congratulations Denise! The award is part of the NIH’s High-Risk, High-Reward Research program, and comes with $5.5 million of funding over five years. Impressively, this is the second time Dr. Montell has earned this award, winning her first in 2014.

Congrats Diego, Emily, Isabel, and Joseph! These SIMS mentees won Best Presentation for their research project on hyperactive SRC in osteoclasts. 

Great job Sophia and Fiona! These high school students from the UCSB Research Mentorship Program finished off the program by giving platform and poster presentations.

Amazing job! We are so proud of you!
