Tolulope Rosanwo, a student in the School of Medicine, recently was selected to participate in the 2015 Minority Medical Student Award Program (MMSAP).
The program is meant to increase interest among minority students in hematology. Over the course of a summer, the students must create a research project on hematology and implement it.
Rosanwo’s research project is titled “SCD biochip: Towards a simple and reliable way to monitor sickle cell disease.”
Jane Little, associate professor of medicine, is Rosanwo’s research mentor, while Stanton Gerson, Distinguished University Professor and director of the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center, serves as her career development mentor.
For participating in the program, Rosanwo who participate will receive a $5,000 research stipend and the opportunity to attend and present at the 57th ASH Annual Meeting Dec. 5-7 in Orlando.
