Wonderful news from the laboratory of Professor Blaise Kimmel! Two first-year students, Soren Spina and Aleah Treiterer, have won National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowships.

Spina and Treiterer are working to develop "smart" immunotherapies and innovative methods of immunotherapy cancer treatment.

Within the College of Engineering, Spina and Treiterer are two out of only three graduate students to win the award this year. There were a total of five graduate students winning at The Ohio State University at large.

We look forward to hearing more about their exciting research!
