Senior Kerri Czekner has been awarded a Fulbright Research Award to Italy to conduct cancer research at the Istituto Europeo di Oncologia in the melanoma laboratory of Dr. Luisa Lanfrancone in Milan. This prestigious award was only offered to 11 students in the United States.
“I’m extremely excited about the possibility of returning to Italy to engage in meaningful scientific research,” she said. Current travel restrictions due to COVID-19 do not allow Americans to enter Italy, so she’s waiting to hear more information from the Fulbright Commission before she makes a final decision to accept. “Even if I am not able to pursue this excellent opportunity, I look forward to pursuing my doctorate at the Skaggs Graduate School of Chemical and Biological Sciences at Scripps Research.”
