Glenn Nagel Undergraduate Research Award Recipients

The 2011 Glenn Nagel Undergraduate Research Award winner is Florante Ricarte (center) from CSU Long Beach. He is pictured here with Mark Wilson (left, Humboldt State and Nagel Award Selection Committee Chair) and Greta Nagel (right, Nagel Family representative) at the 2011 CSU Biotechnology Symposium. Mr. Ricarte won the award based on the presentation of his work establishing a link between three Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast) genes with normal vacuole morphology and the discovery of four novel genes involved in vacuolar events. His work, in collaboration with Dr. Editte Gharakhanian in the Biological Sciences department at Long Beach, is aimed at better understanding basic cell machineries that degrade and remove toxins, cellular by-products and unwanted molecules.
