Keystone Symposia/ABRCMS Scholarships
Keystone Symposia and the Annual Biomedical Conference for Minority Students (ABRCMS) are working collaboratively to enhance participation in scientific research meetings by students from underrepresented populations in the United States. Each year Keystone Symposia awards 2 scholarships to winners of ABRCMS research awards at ABRCMS. These scholarships allow the students to attend a Keystone Symposia research conference of their choice during the year. The scholarship recipients receive guidance from our Chief Scientific Officer and Director of Diversity in Life Science Programs regarding the Conference which most readily parallels their career goals and research interests. The students receive recognition at the selected Keystone Symposia conference and are provided with mentoring both prior to and during the conference period. Such guidance and mentoring is designed to assist the student in having an excellent conference experience, learn how to network with established scientists at such meetings and introduce them to a community of researchers and scholars.
2009 ABRCMS Awardees
My name is Yvonne Kamau, from the University of Kansas, currently pursuing a degree in Microbiology and a co-major in International Studies and Global Development. During a summer internship at Harvard University, my project involved identifying a potential role for IKKε in the STAT 3 signaling pathway. At Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, my research focused on the use of pharmacy refill data in the assessment of adherence in pediatric asthma patients. At the University of Kansas, I am privileged to work with Dr. Liang Tang whose work focuses on understanding the structures of molecular complexes in pathogenic viruses and bacteria such as Herpes Virus, bacteriophages P7 and P22. 2008 ABRCMS Awardee
My name is Christian R. Aguilera-Sandoval. I was born in Guadalajara, Mexico in 1983. I received my Bachelors Degree in Microbiology from CSULB in the Spring of 2009 and began my PhD in Microbiology, Immunobiology and Molecular Genetics at UCLA this Fall 2009. My research interests are centered around immunobiology and HIV pathogenesis. However, my undergraduate research was in protein trafficking while using S. cerevisiae as my model system. My hobbies outside of school life include playing tennis, listening to classical music, reading fantasy novels and playing chess. I plan to eventually pursue a carrer in teaching science while continue to research.
