Chemistry & Biochemistry Students Earn Grants to Fund Their Undergraduate Research

Congratulations to our four students who were received Support for Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) awards this spring, 

Reuben Fortier is working with Professor Saha on a project entitled  “Covalent Drug Discovery through Machine Learning”

Noah Geluk is working with Professor Blecking on a project entitled “Investigation of Student Experiences in a STEM Literacy Course”

Kimberly Osborn is working with Professor Silvaggi on a project entitled “Cloning, Expression, Purification, and Crystallization of a Putative N-acetyltransferase from Streptomyces caelestis”

Abdullah Rauf is working with Professor Frick on a project entitled  “NAD-Capped RNA in Metabolism”

The SURF program is designed to foster faculty-student research collaborations, and funds work through which students have the opportunity to engage in thoughtful and progressively sophisticated work central to the overall research program of the principal investigator. 

SURF Application Deadline for Fall 2023 Academic Year are due: August 15th, 2023
