Happy New Year, and welcome back! I hope everyone had a nice holiday break. We can’t wait to share some exciting Division updates from last year. A few notable updates include: Ping Xie, Associate Professor in Cell Biology and Neuroscience (CBN), receiving the Grossman Innovation Prize; graduate student Leela Biswas in the Schindler Lab, winning the 2022 American Medical Association (AMA) Research Challenge; and a feature on Biological Sciences alum Ali Bhatti and
his mission to make STEM education more accessible. On the staff side, Divisional Director of Administration Anabell Williams was promoted to interim Vice Dean of Administration for the School of Arts and Sciences, and Molecular Biosciences graduate program administrator Carolyn Ambrose is retiring after forty years at Rutgers. We are excited to see what this semester will bring!
