The Louis and Elsa Thomsen Wisconsin Distinguished Graduate Fellowships were established by the estate of Elsa Thomsen and are designated to support graduate students who have established an outstanding research record.
Congratulations Justin (Fox Lab) a recipient of this year’s award.

This award recognizes and rewards excellence in research accomplishments by a postdoctoral student in Biochemistry.
This was made possible by a generous donation from Paul D. Boyer

This award honors graduate students who consistently provide quality guidance and scientific training in mentoring undergraduate students in their research efforts.

This award is intended to recognize a Graduate Student who has consistently shown evidence of quality, commitment, and innovation in teaching.

This award recognizes a graduate or postdoctoral student(s) who best exemplifies the spirit of Sigrid Leirmo, who received her Ph.D. degree in the Department of Biochemistry (1989) and was a postdoctoral research associate in the Department of Bacteriology when she died tragically in an accident in October, 1990. Dr. Leirmo was widely acknowledged among her fellow students and colleagues both as a promising researcher and as an enthusiastic friend and mentor.
