Congratulations to our undergraduate student Dinachi Okonkwo for being named a 2022 Faculty Scholar! Faculty scholar is the highest award given by faculty to undergraduates at Duke. Only three to five students are awarded each year based on 1) impressively high overall grade point average, 2) evidence of independent work (e.g. independent studies, research, special projects, field study, creative writing, etc.), 3) potential for innovative scholarship, and 4) intention to pursue a scholarly career.
Dinachi excels in all the criteria and her research interests are in exploring the molecular basis of the cellular response to stress and other biological research related to medical disorders.
