Congratulations to Dr. Mitchell who was recently recognized as this year’s Junior Faculty Outstanding Undergraduate Researcher Mentor by the department of Biomedical Engineering!

All lab members will agree that this award is well earned. Dr. Mitchell has been an incredible mentor to us all, and her thoughtful guidance and desire to help students achieve their research aspirations are unmatched. This award is truly a testament to her continued effort to provide undergraduates with research opportunities and responsibilities that many investigators would reserve solely for graduate students. This award proves just how fortunate we all are to be a part of the Laboratory for Pathology Dynamics. And we are so happy that Dr. Mitchell’s excellence as a mentor has been recognized with this prestigious award. Congratulations to Dr. Mitchell!!

Recently, our PI Dr. Mitchell was honored with the Young Faculty Award by Sigma Xi, the Scientific Research Honor Society. This award is given to rising young professors who are making a mark in their field. At the same time, Dr. Voit, another BME professor, received the Sustained Research Award. These two BME professors winning these awards concurrently shows the impact and recognition that computational tools in Biomedical Engineering have come to receive. We are very proud of Dr. Mitchell and Dr. Voit and are so happy to congratulate them!

The President’s Undergraduate Research Award (PURA) is an award that funds student salaries for conducting undergraduate research with Georgia Tech faculty and assists in travel expenses related to professional conferences at which students present their research. Our own Brandon White received the PURA salary fellowship for Spring of 2020. Brandon joined the lab in Spring of 2019 as a G93A Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) curator and apprenticed with the Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) team. In Summer 2019, he became a full CML team member while continuing G93A curation and helping with the CML Meta-Analysis project. In Fall of 2019, he worked on QC for the ALS and CML teams before beginning to lay the groundwork for his new Acute Leukemia (AL) project and submitting his PURA application.
