Rebecca Bacon, PhD student, awarded NIH T32 Fellowship

Rebecca Bacon, a veterinary pathologist and PhD student who I am co-mentoring with Dr. Sara Lawhon, was awarded a Ruth L Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) Institutional Research Training Grant (T32) for 3 years of PhD study at Texas A&M University on her project “Characterization of idiopathic chronic diarrhea in Rhesus macaques as a model of post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome and the role of Campylobacter spp. in disease development.” I am looking forward to continuing to mentor Dr. Bacon throughout her graduate career, and to the contributions this project will make to the scientific community.
