Student Research Awards

A dynamic reciprocity exists between students and teachers in the research setting.  The inquisitiveness and fresh perspective of the bright minds of medical students, graduate students, pediatric residents and post-doctoral fellows often provide illuminating insights into the complex problems of human biology and medicine.

Listed below are awards and recognitions bestowed upon students, residents and fellows under the mentorship of The Research Institute faculty.
