Erik Bao (Brugge Lab) has been named a Merck & Co., Inc. Fellow; Kevin Lin (Gu Lab) was named a MacMillan Family Foundation Fellow; and Patrick Smith (Lee Lab) is now a Shurl and Kay Curci Foundation Fellow.
The Life Sciences Research Foundation (LSRF) believes that fundamental advances in life sciences depend upon the training and support of high quality young scientists at a critical point in their career – their postdoctoral training. Their goal is to identify these exceptional young scientists and secure funding for their projects. They do not have an endowment. They seek out and partner with biotech and pharma companies, foundations, and philanthropic individuals who recognize the value and importance of basic scientific research.
