The committee, composed of six faculty members of the MIC Academic Advisory committee, was unanimous in their belief that all six candidates are truly outstanding young scientists. Indeed the faculty of the Department of Microbiology, Immunology and Cancer Biology should be very proud of all of this year’s nominees. Please join me in congratulating each of the nominees (and their mentors) for contributing to the quality of the research in our Department!
