2025 Sutherland Lab Updates!
As Summer quickly approaches we thought it would be a great time to share with you all of the exciting work that our lab has produced over the past several months!
Congratulations to our graduating undergraduate researchers Sarah Garner and Donna Price, who have both been valuable members of the Sutherland lab over the past few years. We wish them the best as they move forward in their careers! Donna won the Biological Sciences Undergraduate Research Award – awarded to the graduating biology senior who has shown exceptional ability in academics and research. Sarah won the Biological Sciences Academic Excellence Award – awarded to the seniors who display overall academic excellence. Sarah also won the Paynter Memorial Award – awarded to the graduating biology senior with the highest academic index and outstanding person qualities who is going to medical school.
Check out the UDaily article on mentorship in the Sutherland lab! The article features undergraduate researcher Sarah Garner and graduate student Alicia Kreiman with a focus on their mentoring relationship which led not only to Sarah’s successful defense of her Senior Thesis but also Sarah’s co-authorship on Alicia’s recent paper in mBio!
Evelyn McQuaid and Tyana Spindle have received DE INBRE Summer Research Scholarship awards and will be with us full time over the Summer honing their research skills!!
