Thank Yous

A huge thank you to Dr. Tomer Avidor-Reiss, Dr. Sandra Leibel, Dr. Carlos Grijalva, and Julie Shurts for being on our “How to get into (and out of) graduate school” panel. Our students and SRF staff are incredibly thankful for providing your perspectives.

Thank you to both of our SRF principal investigators, Dr. Amit Sharma and Dr. Amutha Boominathan, for their faculty presentations during Education Hour.

We also thank Michael Qiu for presenting his final graduate internship presentation with SRF. Your hard work in the ApoptoSENS team is incredibly valuable and we wish you the best in your Ph.D. program at the University of Miami.

Farewells

At the end of August, our graduate interns, Kriti Bhardwaj and Michael Qiu will be concluding their internships with us. Thank you so much for participating in our graduate internship program and for all the research you worked tirelessly on. We wish you both the best of luck in your future endeavors and hope to stay connected!

Ongoing Programs

The Sponsor a Student campaign is still ongoing! Please encourage people to sponsor our brilliant students and increase our reach. We love connecting students to labs to fuel the mission to end age related disease, but we also love transforming the lives and careers of young people. The investment in these students will ensure that the brightest minds, the best scientists, and the most influential leaders know that aging is not an absolute – we can combat aging and live healthier for longer!

Perks include:

  • A designated student sponsorship is named in your honor for the 2024 summer or 2024-2025 school year.
  • Postbaccalaureate sponsors will receive virtual invites to the sponsored student’s final presentation.
  • Your name is displayed on a plaque in our Research Center.
