Dr. Kasmintan Schrader (Schrader Lab) has been awarded the Maud Menten New Principal Investigator Prize in Genetics.
This prize was established to recognize and support the research excellence of Canadian Early-Career Investigators working within the mandate of the CIHR Institute of Genetics (IG). Dr. Menten's outstanding career as a biomedical scientist led to many important achievements including in 1913, a collaboration with Leonor Michaelis on the behaviour of enzymes resulted in the Michaelis-Menten equation, a biochemical concept so fundamental that it is familiar to first-year science students.
Please join us in congratulating Intan!
