Congratulations to MD/PhD student Gregory Botta. He will be attending the meeting of Nobel Laureates in Lindau, Germany this summer. Since 1951, Nobel Laureates in chemistry, physics, and physiology/medicine convene annually in Lindau, Germany, to have open and informal meetings with students and young researchers. The Laureates lecture on the topic of their choice in the mornings and participate in less formal, small-group discussions with the students in the afternoons and some evenings. Greg received one of the graduate awards to attend the meeting in Lindau this year.

Greg is both a physician and scientist in training for a career in Academic Medicine. He is pursuing an MD/PhD degree in Molecular & Cellular Biology and Genetics/Biomedical Engineering. He is also the recipient of the prestigious NIH Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award for Dual-Degree Fellows.
