The Bioinformatics interdisciplinary graduate program is pleased to report that our faculty selection committee has reviewed the nominations for J. Leland Jackson Fellowships. Three Bioinformatics students have been selected for Best Paper awards.

Rohini Janivara (Advisor Joe Lachance), 
Best Paper PhD Student = $1000 fellowship
Rohini is first-author for a publication currently under review in “Nature Genetics,” for her publication, “Heterogeneous genetic architectures and evolutionary genomics of prostate cancer in sub-Saharan Africa.”

Each year, the Georgia Tech Bioinformatics Graduate Program recognizes outstanding students at the PhD and MS levels. Each nominee was evaluated based on CV’s, transcripts, descriptions of their accomplishments, and letters of recommendation. An interdisciplinary committee of faculty members selected the winners.  Please join us in congratulating the following two outstanding students!
