ASIP Experimental
Pathologist-in-Graduate Training Award
(EPIGT)
The
EPIGT is a prestigious award presented to an ASIP trainee member who
is a graduate student in a PhD training program, MD/PhD training program
or MD training program who has excelled in investigative efforts in
studying mechanisms of disease, as evidenced by an abstract submission
to the ASIP annual meeting, an extended research report, and a letter of
recommendation attesting to the candidate’s role in the work and
potential as a biomedical research investigator. The award includes:
a certificate of achievement for the winning abstract presented at the
ASIP Annual Meeting Awards Presentation at the Experimental Biology
Meeting, a $1,500 honorarium and complimentary meeting registration.
Candidates for the EPIGT Award are also considered for ASIP Merit Awards
($1,250 plus complimentary registration), which will be awarded
to the best graduate/medical student abstract. Each applicant must be a
trainee member of ASIP. Prior recipients of the EPIGT and Merit Awards
may reapply if the work submitted is clearly distinct from the work
previously submitted for their winning application (not just a
continuation of the same project). In such cases, the applicants should
submit a copy of the previous winning application along with the new
application.

Cecelia Yates |
"I am delighted and honored to have been the recipient of
the 2008 Experimental Pathologist in Graduate Training
award. As a result I was able to attend the 2008 annual
Experimental Biology meeting in San Diego CA. It was not
only exciting but beneficial to be apart of this meeting in
which leading experts discussed diverse topics in the field
of investigative pathology. This was the perfect forum to
gather and share ideas that affects the field of pathology
in a global environment.
This award has allowed me to focus on career enrichment and
development both of which are key focus points of my
graduate studies. My scientific interest lies in the
cellular abnormalities that cause human disease and events
of the restructuring of different tissues that result from
injury particularly during wound healing. More specifically,
determining what signals end the wound healing response and
allow the regenerated tissue to form mature functional skin.
This project is an interface between basic pathobiology and
advanced technologies which is one of the most exciting
developments in investigative pathology. As the recipient of
EPIGT award I was afforded the opportunity to diversify my
scientific contribution in wound healing and areas
surrounding investigative pathology, develop a network of
collaborations, and obtain a broad view of approaches to
scientific problems." - Cecelia Christina Yates |
