This award will support Daniel’s international training at the University of Bordeaux and allow him to attend their international conference in support of his research for the analysis of proteins in cultural heritage objects.

Congrats to his successful candidacy exam on his work research mild traumatic brain injuries.

Bifarin won this inaugural award from Georgia Tech’s SoCB for his lightning talk on “Lipidome Dynamics DKO” for his ovarian cancer research using machine learning. Congrats Bifarin!

This award will support Daniel’s travel to the Gordon Research Conference in Switzerland later this year.

Bifarin won best talk from the College of Sciences and Daniel won best lighting talk overall. They will both receive travel awards to go to conferences of their choice and continue to present their exciting work.

He will use his award to visit Dr Richard Drake’s lab at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, SC to perform glycan mass spectrometry imaging experiments for ovarian cancer studies.
