Stephanie Dougan receives a Young Mentor Award from Harvard Medical School
Excerpt from Stephanie's speech: "Students each have the potential to use their talents for good, to become doctors and scientists, or to explore other paths to helping make the world a better place. I see my role as finding what is special about each person, and to figure out what they need from me to help them grow and feel supported and know that no matter how much failure they feel now, that they are valuable people." HMS mentoring award site is here for the full story. |
Jessica Ingram memorial lecture
Dougan lab is saddened by the loss of our colleague and friend, Jessica Ingram. Jess was known for her meticulous and thoughtful approach to science. She trained numerous students and postdocs, and was always available to talk about scientific ideas or to help troubleshoot problems. She enjoyed going to seminars on diverse topics, believing that a broad understanding of biology is the best foundation for creative inspiration. As a postdoctoral fellow in Hidde Ploegh's lab, then as an Instructor in the Dougan lab, she developed an alpaca antibody platform for cancer immunology, and used protein engineering to design novel applications for single-domain antibodies. In the last year alone, she published 5 first author papers using single-domain antibodies, as well as an Annual Review of Immunology article on the subject. Jess was talented, kind, a good collaborator, and will be very much missed. A memorial lecture is held annually in her honor. Dr. Chris Garcia, a Stanford professor and collaborator of Jess's, delivered the inaugural lecture. Dr. Richard Hynes (MIT) will present the Ingram Lecture in October of 2019. Donations to the lecture can be given at this site.
