Lindsay Clegg, a predoctoral student and member of the Mac Gabhann lab who is working to develop computational models of growth factor diffusion, ligand-receptor interactions, trafficking, and activation, has been awarded a National Defense Science & Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowship. The NDSEG Fellowship provides full tuition and fees as well as a generous monthly stipend for three years. The NDSEG Fellowship is sponsored by several research programs under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Defense in support of its commitment to increasing the number and quality of our nation’s scientists and engineers. Just ten percent of applicants to the NDSEG Fellowship program, on average, are selected to receive awards each year.

It should be noted that Lindsay was also successful in her application for the prestigious National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship, which also provides a stipend plus substantial tuition support for three years. She declined the NSF award in favor of the NDSEG Fellowship.

Congratulations Lindsay!
