Travel Award Recipients

The Department of Physiology and Biophysics is honored to be able to support students who are planning to attend a scientific meeting to present a talk/poster or visit a laboratory at another institute to further their understanding of new scientific techniques that could benefit their research.

This is made possible through the generous UBF memorial endowments set up by the families of Suk-Ki Hong, Michael Anbar & Ada Anbar, and Hermann Rahn.
