Hannah Campbell, who completed her PhD with Dr. Kris DeMali, was awarded the 2020 Subramanian Award for the best PhD thesis in the Department of Biochemistry. The Subramanian Award is made possible by a gift from Dr. Alap Subramanian, a 1964 PhD student from the department, who parlayed his training with the late George Kalnitsky, (and with Irving Klotz at Northwestern and both Bernard Davis and Herman Kalckar at Harvard Medical School), into a highly successful career at the Max-Planck-Institute.

Dr. Campbell’s thesis was entitled, “Mechanisms of E-Cadherin Force Transmission.” Hannah received her PhD in August 2019 and is currently an Applications Scientist at Integrated DNA Technologies in Coralville, Iowa.

Congratulations Dr. Campbell!
