5th ID IGEP cohorts participated in gingerbread decorating contest at the Match Day Celebration.

Each fall, cohorts in the Infectious Disease Interdisciplinary Graduate Education Program (IGEP) complete a series of three 4‑week research rotations. These short, intensive rotations allow students to experience different research environments, explore new techniques, and identify the lab that best aligns with their scientific interests and mentorship needs. After completing all rotations, students and faculty work together to determine the best long‑term research home. 

Congratulations to the following students on successful matches!

  • Caroline Clark – Strawn Lab
  • Skarleth Chinchilla – Chaves Lab
  • Avery Kaye – Auguste Lab
  • Kelsey Kern – Gray Lab
  • Breanna Wimbush – Lam Lab
  • Aryn Wright – Weger Lab
