Bush and Wang Selected as 2015-2016 HHMI Scholars

The Department of Biomedical Engineering would like to congratulate two of our outstanding graduate students on their acceptance into the 2015-2016 OSU Howard Hughes Medical Institute MED into GRAD Scholars Program!

Michael Bush is advised by Biomedical Engineering Associate Professor Yi Zhao and Yongchen Wang is advised by Electrical and Computer Engineering, Assistant Professor Liang Guo.

The OSU HHMI MED into Grad Scholars Program was established to augment the biomedical applications of traditional basic science research programs at The Ohio State University. Combining elements of OSU’s Independent Study Program (ISP) in the College of medicine, Graduate School, and Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS), the MED into Grad Scholars Program will further the training of exceptional precandidacy graduate students whose dissertation research is relevant biomedical areas. This additional training will prepare MED into Grad scholars to facilitate the sharing of information between basic scientists and clinicians. It will also increase their understanding of the language, culture, and practice of medicine, and help them develop the skills needed to form future partnerships and collaborations with physician scientists.

Congratulations Michael and Yongchen!
