2018-2019 Stinski undergraduate research fellowship winner

Evan Lamb

Undergraduate Microbiology student Evan Lamb has been awarded the Stinski Undergraduate Research Fellowship for 2018-2019. The fellowship's purpose is to support undergraduates in pursuit of research in the field of microbiology.  Along with a monthly stipend, it covers full tuition for the next school year for Evan.

Evan Lamb's response:

"I am honored to be named the next Stinski Fellow and would like to thank the amazing members in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology for the support throughout my time at The University of Iowa. I am extremely appreciative of my research mentor, Dr. Linda McCarter, for her guidance and encouragement in class, lab and in my personal growth. I will continue to conduct research exploring bacterial motility, communication, and adaptation. 

In addition to my research, I want to continue leading the Microbiology Undergraduate Student Association (MUSA) and teaching my Nursing and Pharmacy Microbiology students to promote interest and appreciation of microbes and the impact they have on the world. 

My education at Iowa will serve as an excellent foundation to continue my training to become a biomedical researcher with the goal of preventing and treating infectious disease by discovering how microbes function to cause disease." 

The Stinski Undergraduate Research Fellowship is an endowed fund created with proceeds from a successful patent awarded to Professor Mark F. Stinski. Professor Stinski was on the faculty of the Department of Microbiology from 1973-2011 and continues his affiliation with the Department in Emeritus status.
