Cuervo Lab Great News to celebrate!!!
Esperanza
Arias received
the prestigious Fulbright Postdoctoral Research Grant to study the
relation between autophagic dysfunction and the stress response in aging.
Susmita Kaushik again
on the spot light!! Part of her Thesis work has been published in Nature
and it received considerable attention from the scientific
community and different press
media (including a great summary in the Spanish
press). This is a collaborative study with Dr. Rajat Singh from the group of
Dr. Mark J. Czaja also at Einstein.
Susmita Kaushik is
in a roll!! She has received the Weintraub
award for graduate students. This is a very competitive award that is given
to 12 outstanding graduate students in the whole country!! She will participate
in a two day scientific symposium at the Hutchinson Center's Robert W. Day
Campus, where she will present her thesis work. The students were selected on
the basis of quality, originality and significance of their work. She
obviously has it all!
Susmita Kaushik received
one of the four 2009 Julius Marmur Research Award for her research
work. She will present her work at the 13th Annual Julius Marmur Symposium on March
23, 2009. Don't miss it!.
Urmi Bandyopadhyay defended
her thesis on November 3, 2008. She is from now on Dr. Bandyopadhyay!! Our
third Ph
from the lab!
Susmita Kaushik has
bee nominated co-chair of the first Gordon Research Seminar in Biology of Aging,
that will take place in Le Diablerets, Switzerland in September 2009. Susmita is
responsible for the selection of speakers, organization of discussions and for
fund raising to put together the best possible program. The symposium allow
students that intend to participate in the Gordon Conference to present their
work in a smaller forum and receive direct feedback from the leaders in the
field, and will provide them the necessary background to promote their active
participation in the Conference.
