People, papers and presentations

Jatin Narula, a graduate
student in the lab of Rice bioengineer Oleg Igoshin, has won a Howard Hughes
Medical Institute (HHMI) International Student Research Fellowship. The
three-year grant will provide an annual stipend of $30,000, plus an educational
allowance, to support Narula’s work as part of Igoshin’s lab, which focuses on
computational systems biology, with a particular interest in cellular dynamics.

Narula and Igoshin, an
assistant professor in bioengineering at Rice’s BioScience Research Collaborative,
published
a paper, one of several they have co-authored, last year on the role of
dynamic properties of a regulatory network functioning in hematopoietic stem
cells.
