Congratulations to Dr. Adrian Halme, Assistant Professor of Cell Biology, recipient of the 2017 UVa Medical Education Fellowship Award

We are pleased to announce that Adrian Halme, Assistant Professor of Cell Biology, is the recipient of one of the 2017 UVa Medical Education Fellowship Awards from the Dean’s Office. This award will fund release time for Adrian’s further development of a writing workshop available to 1^st year graduate students in all of the BIMS PhD programs. This Workshop was developed in collaboration with Jim Casanova, Professor of Cell Biology, and a number of BIMS faculty serve as mentors for the participating students. The workshop is focused on developing actual fellowship applications, some of which have been submitted to external funding agencies and resulted in funded fellowships for graduate students. Development of effective writing skills is a crucial tool for the success of future scientists and educators.
