A veterinary student’s research into the use of stem cells in lung therapies won top honors in an annual contest at Tufts University’s Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine.
Marieke H. Rosenbaum, a third-year student, won the award for research that could eventually help both animals and people with emphysema.
Rosenbaum did her research over the summer, with guidance from Andrew Hoffman, an associate professor at the school.
The research received funding from the National Institutes of Health’s Summer Research Training Program.
