Congratulations to Professor Amy Rowat, who has received a National Science Foundation BRITE Fellow award that will provide $995,000 of research funding over five years! This is the first time the foundation has given out these awards, which allow researchers to explore bold and ambitious ideas. Professor Rowat, the Marcie H. Rothman Presidential Chair of Food Studies, will research cells as materials to advance fundamental knowledge of cellular mechanical regulators and help sustain food production despite climate change and disruptions from natural disasters or epidemics.
