Amanda Pennings represented the undergraduate efforts of the Deleon lab along with Miette Ogg on their research of fgfr2 syndromes at the American Association of Anatomy Meeting in Experimental Biology. She spoke of overcoming her overwhelming nerves in an effort to express her hard work and investment in the research project to the judges. Her hard work was recognized as she was presented the Undergraduate Student Poster Presentation Award! We are so proud of her efforts and of those who assisted in this project.

      

“I am so grateful that I had the support of amazing mentors like Dr.DeLeon and Katie, my partner Miette, and the entire lab team as well. Without them to lean on for support, advice, and assistance, I never would have been able to achieve the success I did.” – Amanda Pennings
