Ann Palmenberg Junior Investigator Award
Jenna Guthmiller, PhD, assistant professor of immunology and microbiology, received the Ann Palmenberg Junior Investigator Award at the American Society for Virology annual meeting on June 25. The award recognizes junior investigators who have made significant contributions to the field of virology and who display exceptional promise. Her lab studies how broadly protective humoral immunity against influenza viruses develops and can be harnessed by vaccination. Her expertise has been showcased in recent news reports about avian flu, including this article in the AAMC News and this report in The Denver Post.
Dr. Michael Schurr's lab from CU School of Medicine and Dr. Devatha Nair lab's CU School of Dental Medicine's spinout company, Azodent, Inc. received a RadLaunch award at RadTech for designing a polymer coating that can be used to prevent biofilm accumulation and infections on implants, prostheses, catheters, and endoscopes.
