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.
