MCB faculty Amanda Whipple has received an R35 Maximizing Investigators’ Research Award (MIRA) from the NIH. The award provides five years of funding to promising early career PIs, with the goal of ensuring recipients’ stability and flexibility as their labs branch out in pursuit of new research questions.
“Receiving a five-year award from the NIH feels like a special milestone for a new lab, so this award is particularly significant,” Whipple says.
