I would like to announce that Vanessa Wankhede has been awarded a 2009 fall the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) award in University of Minnesota. Vanessa is currently a sophomore student majoring in Biomedical Engineering. Her project title is "Characterization of Muscle Stem Cell Proliferation, Differentiation and Stemness after Treatment with DNA Methylation Inhibitor". She will investigate the role of DNA demethylation for differentiation and self-renewal of muscle stem cells. Her findings will be applied for future cell-based treatment for muscular dystrophy. This is a great start for her medical scientific career as a pre-med undergraduate student. Congratulations to Vanessa!
