Postdoctoral Research Award 2012 Jonathan Gent, postdoctoral fellow in plant biology, has been a highly productive researcher since joining the Dawe lab at UGA. Upon his arrival, Gent initiated a long-term project to identify genes that control the number of active centromeres, the regions of chromosomes...
Postdoctoral Research Award 2011 Yuping He, assistant research scientist in physics, has made major contributions to the growth, characterization, and application of nanostructures. Particularly notable is her development of a novel fabrication technique called “dynamic shadowing growth,” and her application of this technique to the fabrication of...
Postdoctoral Research Award 2011 Adam Barb, a postdoctoral research associate in the Complex Carbohydrate Research Center, completed a project that involved remodeling the glycans of immunoglobulin domains with sugars labeled with magnetically active isotopes. He used nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) data on the isotopes to characterize...
