Awards/Achievements:
Jeff joined our group in January of 2009. He studies the role of Jak2/Stat5 signaling in mammary epithelial cells and hematopoietic cells. In 2009, he received a one-year graduate fellowship through the UNMC Cancer Research Training Program (CRTP). In 2010, Jeff won second place for his oral presentation at the 41th Midwest Student Biomedical Research Forum, and since July of 2010, he is supported through the UNMC Graduate Studies Office on a Research Assistantship. In 2010, Jeff was awarded a second prize award for his poster presentation at the FASEB sponsored conference on "Receptor Tyrosine Kinases: Biology and Cancer." In 2011, he received the the Eppley Institute's Shawn Jessen Memorial Award and an AACR Scholar-in-Training Award supported by Susan G. Komen for the Cure® to attend the San Antonio Breast Cancer symposium. Jeff is currently supported by a DoD predoctoral award.
