CRM Seed Grant - Junior Innovator Award
Today, I was thrilled to receive a seed grant to support my research on highly regenerative animal models! The journey to this achievement was both exciting and rewarding. I was selected as one of the five finalists and had the opportunity to present my pitch at a fun and engaging event. I’m proud to share that I was awarded $15,000 for my research. This marks my first grant, and I couldn’t be more excited about this milestone!
I’m also incredibly happy for my friend and colleague, Yu Seon Kim, PhD, who is also a member of the WUPS Outreach Committee with me. Together with Yu Seon we made top two in the competition. It was a fantastic experience to celebrate this achievement together. Also, a huge thank you to Yu Seon for capturing the moment with a photo.
My sincere acknowledgments to my mentors, Dr. Duygu Özpolat and Dr. Kerry Kornfeld andall the members of the Özpolat Lab for their invaluable feedback, which played a fundamental role in helping me deliver a strong and impactful presentation.
This grant is just the beginning, and I’m excited to see where this research takes us next!
