From the lab to the world stage!

Kathryn Carter, a Ph.D. candidate in the Neuroscience Program, recently traveled to Italy to attend the International Conference on “Alcoholism and Stress: A Framework for Future Treatment Strategies.”

Alongside her mentor, Dr. Rinker, Kathryn shared her research with an international audience of scientists and trainees, contributing to important conversations about the future of alcohol use disorder research and treatment.

While abroad, Kathryn also took time to explore Italy with her family, making the experience both professionally rewarding and personally memorable!

Experiences like these highlight the opportunities available to MUSC graduate students to share their research, build global connections, and grow as future leaders in science.

Celebrating the conclusion of our Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP)!

Last week, our SURP trainees wrapped up an incredible summer of research, learning, and professional growth. Over the past 10 weeks, students immersed themselves in laboratory research, courses and professional development opportunities while working alongside graduate student mentors.

After getting acclimated to the lab and learning new techniques and equipment, each trainee developed an independent research project and brought their work to life through an oral research presentation at the end of the program.

A huge thank you to our graduate mentors, faculty, instructors, and everyone who supported our SURP students along the way.

Meet Tyreek Jenkins, Ph.D. candidate in Dr. Lang’s lab in the department of Molecular & Cellular Biology & Pathobiology. When asked about how MUSC is shaping his education he said, “When I began my Ph.D. journey at MUSC, I hoped to become a stronger scientist, but I didn’t realize how profoundly the experience would shape me as a person. Studying age-related hearing loss has deepened my passion for research that can improve quality of life, while opportunities to mentor students and serve in graduate student leadership have strengthened my commitment to supporting others.

MUSC has provided me with the skills, confidence, and sense of purpose to pursue a career dedicated to scientific discovery, education, and service. I am grateful for the mentors, colleagues, and experiences that have prepared me to make a meaningful impact both in science and in the communities I serve.”

For many researchers, presenting at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology Annual Meeting is an accomplishment in itself. This year, Atiyabanu Nagingar, Ph.D., a postdoctoral scholar in Dr. Elizabeth Pearsall’s lab at MUSC Health Health Storm Eye Institute, took that achievement to a new level.

After being selected as one of just 40 competitors from several thousand contenders, Dr. Nagingar advanced to the poster competition finals—and then went on to win first place in the oral presentation round!

Congratulations, Dr. Nagingar!
