Mitch Bellrichard and Ryan Dashek, graduate fellows who are pursuing residencies in the College of Veterinary Medicine’s Comparative Medicine Program, recently captured awards during the Research and Creative Activities Forum held April 5 and sponsored by the MU Graduate Professional Council.
Bellrichard took first place in the Engineering, Computer and Information Science category with his project, “Genipin Crosslinking to Promote the Attachment and Proliferation of Fibroblasts on a Ligament Scaffold.” Dashek’s project, “Characterization of NipSnap2 as a Potential Mediator of Mitochondrial Permeability Transition,” captured second place honors in the Vet/Biomed category.
The MU GPC has hosted the Research and Creative Activities Forum for more than 30 years as a way for students to showcase research and creative activities, while providing valuable experience and feedback. Professors from across the state and within the MU community evaluate presentations, with cash prizes awarded for exceptional presentations.
