Dennis Ma and Nick Pervolarakis win Opportunity Award from the UCI Center for Complex Biological Systems (CCBS)

Congratulations to the winners of this year’s CCBS Opportunity Awards competition based on the theme of Crossing Scales with Cell-Level Data! This collaboration with Ali Mortazavi’s Lab focusing on “Doublet Cell Sequencing to Elucidate Stem Cell Niche in Mouse Epithelium ” will be carried by Dr. Dennis Ma and Nick Pervolarakis (Kessenbrock Lab) and Camden Jansen (Mortazavi Lab). Each winning proposal will receive $10,000 to be shared between the faculty for lab project expenses; and a $1,000 award for research supplies to be shared between student and/or postdoctoral participants. We look forward to hearing about the projects at next year’s annual CCBS retreat scheduled for Spring quarter 2018, due to be held in the Los Angeles area!
