Corey Allard and Xin Gu are among the 21 researchers joining the Pew Scholars Program in Biomedical Sciences. This year’s class of early-career, junior faculty joins a legacy of more than 1,000 scientists who have received awards from Pew since 1985.
Founded in 1948, Pew addresses the challenges of a changing world by illuminating issues, creating common ground, and advancing ambitious projects that lead to tangible progress.
Dr. Allard will explore how some sea slugs turn to thievery to gain new abilities by swiping subcellular structures from their prey.
Dr. Gu will study a novel pathway that cells use to selectively degrade proteins that regulate gene activity.
