Recent GCDB graduate student Dr. Warren (Zhongqing) Ren was awarded the 2024 Nat L. Sternberg prize for outstanding work in the field of bacterial molecular biology! Warren was extremely productive as a graduate student - publishing ten papers, five of which he was the first or co-first author. His graduate work focused on chromosome biology, particularly in bacteria containing multiple replicons and was performed in the laboratory of Dr. Xindan Wang. Congrats to Warren on this international recognition of his graduate research and best of luck as he embarks on a postdoctoral position in Dr. Xiaolan Zhao’s group at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
