Angel Lerma Awarded Curci Foundation Fellowship

Congratulations to Molecular Pharmaceutics Ph.D student Angel Lerma (Al-Hilal Lab) for receiving a prestigious Shurl and Kay Curci Foundation Fellowship! 

The Foundation partners with the University of Utah to support students pursuing Ph.Ds in life sciences, prioritizing two groups that have been historically overlooked for financial support: women and international students. The Curci fellowship provides each recipient with two years of graduate school funding (stipend, graduate tuition, and health insurance). They support science-based research striving for the advancement of a healthy and sustainable future for humans. 

Angel received his BS in Microbiology from The University of Texas El Paso. His Ph.D research focuses on disparities between Hispanic and non-Hispanic White pediatric brain cancer patients. He is thrilled for this opportunity from the Shurl and Kay Curci Foundation. Congratulations Angel!
