| 26 | Jeremie M. Axe, M.D. Summer Scholars Award;# | <p>​Kailey is an incoming senior with a major in Biological Sciences and a minor in Biochemistry. She
has been working in Professor Anja Nohe’s laboratory since February 2022 and has had the
opportunity to participate in the Summer Scholars internship in 2022 and 2023. Her work consists
of using the synthetic protein CK2.1 to stimulate cartilage cells from patients with osteoarthritis or
osteoporosis, in hopes of evaluating the protein’s efficacy as a therapeutic. She would like to
thank Professor Nohe and the members of her lab, in particular doctoral student Venu Pandit, for
their assistance with her project.​<br></p> | DeGeorge, Kailey | | https://www.bio.udel.edu/Awards Honors and Special Recognitions/DeGeorge-Kailey.JPG | |
| 14 | Biological Sciences Undergraduate Research Award;# | <p>David Hawtof graduated in 2023 with a B.S. in Biological Sciences (concentration in Molecular and
Cellular Biology) and a minor in Jewish Studies. He has spent the last 2 1/2 years conducting
undergraduate research under the supervision of Dr. Molly Sutherland on cytochrome c
biogenesis. In particular, he has investigated the function of four histidines in the protein CcsBA in
the organism Campylobacter jejuni. While doing research, he completed two Summer Scholar
Programs (2021 & 2022) and presented his summer research at West Virginia University's
Undergraduate Research Conference. Additionally, he was awarded the Jeremie M. Axe M.D.
Summer Research Scholarship Award during his first Summer Scholars Program. This fall, he will
continue his studies at the University of Virginia to begin a Ph.D. program in Molecular and Cell
Biology.​<br></p> | Hawtof, David | | https://www.bio.udel.edu/Awards Honors and Special Recognitions/Hawtof-David.JPG | |

| 23 | Milton H. Stetson Memorial Undergraduate Research Fellowship;# | <p>​Adam Kerzner is a rising senior here at University of Delaware pursuing an honors degree with
distinction in biology. Adam has been working for the past year and a half in Dr. Ramona
Neunuebel’s microbiology and pathology laboratory. He has been studying effector proteins
secreted by the bacterium Legionella Pnuemophila. He has been on the dean’s list in every
semester and has also received the general honors award. Adam is a student tutor for different
subjects in math and sciences and has also been a site leader and now the senior operations
coordinator of University of Delaware’s alternative breaks program. He is excited to pursue his
interest in biology by applying to graduate programs to continue research in biology or in

| 19 | Biological Sciences Academic Excellence Award;# | <p>Migachelle has been a dedicated student within the Biological Sciences Department. She came to
the USA from Haiti with a limited understanding of English and within a few years she has proven
to be one of the Departments top students. She is an exceptional organic chemistry teaching
assistants, continuously pulling hundreds of students into packed study halls weekly. She
graduates with an exceptional GPA and has capped her degree with an undergraduate thesis on
cardiovascular diseases. Under the direction of Dr. Chi Keung Lam, her research focused on the
effect of cardiac-specific Heat Shock Protein 90 knockout in the expressions of calcium-handling
proteins in mouse cardiomyocytes. Her thesis was the accumulation of several semesters of
undergraduate research and was awarded funding through the 2022 Undergraduate Research
Summer Scholars program. Her goal is to be accepted into medical school through a MD/PhD
program so she can continue her studies in medicine.​<br></p> | Romano, Migachelle | | https://www.bio.udel.edu/Awards Honors and Special Recognitions/migachelle-romano.jpg | |
| 24 | Enoch Lee Memorial Award;# | <p>​​Intent on giving back to the community, Alexandra Schaffer served as a Peer Mentor, mentored
high school students, volunteered at the Wilmington Dental Clinic, and fostered her community as
an RA. As a researcher, she worked in the Parreno Lab, analyzing the protein transgelin and its
potential as a therapeutic target in fibrosis. She was also awarded an INBRE Winter Fellowship to
continue her research. As her time at UD comes to a close, Alexandra achieved the Latin honors
Summa Cum Laude. She is a firm believer that through hard work and a smile, anything is
possible! She is notable for her contagious positivity and willingness to go out of the way for
others. Alexandra will attend the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry to pursue her D.D.S.​<br></p> | Schaffer, Ali | | https://www.bio.udel.edu/Awards Honors and Special Recognitions/Schaffer-Ali.JPG | |
