I would like to announce that Christopher Tastad has been awarded a 2008-2009 Marzolf Award from the Marzolf Foundation which is supporting the Paul and Sheila Wellstone Muscular Dystrophy Center in University of Minnesota. Chris is currently a sophomore student majoring in Biochemistry. His project title is "Analysis of GADD45 gene function during muscle stem cell differentiation". He will investigate the role of GADD45 in muscle stem cell self-renewal and differentiation. He has been working hard and already obtained some interesting results. His findings will be applied for future cell-based therapy for muscular dystrophy. This is a great start for his medical scientific career as a pre-med undergraduate student. Congratulations to Chris!
