Anna MacManus (BMB Class of 2021) receives Fulbright Scholarship

Anna MacManus, now a BMB aluma, has received the prestigious Fulbright Scholarship which provides grants to students to travel abroad as English teaching assistants or to perform research projects they designed.  Anna will use the scholarship to travel to Germany for research in Dr. Franziska Knopf’s lab at the Center for Regenerative Therapies in Dresden, screening a drug laboratory to find compounds that reduce the metastasis of breast cancer to the bone, using zebrafish as a model system. The opportunity will provide important lab experience to MacManus before she starts her graduate studies in biomedical sciences at Vanderbilt University in fall 2022.
