2017 Opportunity Awards
7/18/17
Congratulations to the winners of this year's CCBS Opportunity Awards competition based on the theme of Crossing Scales with Cell-Level Data! Each winning proposal will receive $10,000 to be shared between the faculty for lab project expenses; and a $1,000 award for research supplies to be shared between student and/or postdoctoral participants. We look forward to hearing about the projects at next year's annual CCBS retreat scheduled for Spring quarter 2018, due to be held in the Los Angeles area!
