Congratulations to two of our wonderful graduate students, Jill Hoyt and Jerome Cattin, for receiving the 2016 Graduate Discovery Fellowship!

Jill will be embarking on a three-month fellowship to work with Dr. Robby Weimer at Genentech in San Francisco. Weimer’s lab uses optical imaging techniques to study neuronal synaptic connectivity in animals and disease models.

Jerome’s four-month fellowship will be spent at the International Rice Research Institute in Los Banos, the Philippines. He will join the gene discovery team, which investigates the function of candidate genes within rice strains.
