Jessica Bolivar, a graduate student in the Biochemistry, Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology (BMCDB) Graduate Group, is investigating the molecular mechanisms that cells use to deal with stress in the lab of Christopher Fraser, a professor in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology. In the predominately biochemistry-based lab, Bolivar is taking a different angle to examine cell stress—by drawing on her passion and experience with cell imaging.
Faculty and staff in the college’s eight graduate groups, including Alyssa Parsons and Mark Huising from the Biochemistry, Molecular, Cellular and Development Biology graduate group, were among this year’s recipients of mentorship and service awards by Graduate Studies.
This year’s CBS Dean’s Mentorship Awards recipients, including Samuel Petshow and Natalie Sahabandu from Biochemistry, Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology, were honored at a college award ceremony on Saturday, June 3.
Professor John Albeck and Professor Ching-Hsien Chen are among 12 faculty named. “These 12 newest fellows represent our university at its very best,” Chancellor Gary S. May said. “They are now part of a proud 22-year history for the Chancellor’s Fellows program. These fellows are making advances that help solve complex and critical issues, while also helping our students become critical thinkers and problem-solvers.”
