Million dollar grant by the Paul G. Allen Foundation for Medical Research to University of Washington medical scientist program

fellowships next summer are: Heather Cheng, a graduate of Princeton University in molecular biology. She is currently in her third year of the Medical Scientist Training Program at the UW, and beginning her Ph.D. work on understanding the mechanisms of entry of feline leukemia virus. Cheng grew up in Edmonds, Washington.

Kristen Jaax graduated from Stanford University with a degree in mechanical engineering and is currently an MD/Ph.D. student in the department of bioengineering. Her research focuses on modeling the neuromuscular system using robotics. Jaax hometown is Clear Lake City, TX. She hopes to use knowledge of the neuromuscular system to design intelligent medical devices for rehabilitation and sports medicine applications.

Benjamin Pinsky of Farmington Hills, Michigan, graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University before becoming an MD/Ph.D. student in the molecular and cellular biology program. His research uses yeast to identify novel therapeutics for treatment of certain infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, often a fatal complication of cystic fibrosis.
