AWARDEE TESTIMONIAL

An Appreciation from Alexandra Dickinson: Recipient of the PSNA 2022 Arthur Neish Young Investigator Award

Receiving the Arthur C. Neish young investigator award last year was a great honor for me. This is a very exciting time to be a young investigator studying phytochemistry. Plants have a vast, unexplored chemical landscape. This presents many challenges, but poses a wealth of exciting opportunities and discoveries. Research this field has enormous potential to benefit society in the field and the clinic.

An Appreciation from Zhi-yan (Rock) Du: Recipient of the 2022 PSNA-TPJ Early Career Award

It’s such an honor to receive the 2021-2022 PSNA-TPJ early career award, together with Monica Borghi, Narayanan Srividya, and Thu-Thuy Dang. In August 2020, I started my lab in the Department of Molecular Biosciences & Bioengineering at University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, a hard time during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was very challenging to establish a new lab and research team for the past two years, and this award is certainly an exciting energizer for my research. Mahalo!
