The 2017-2018 Murray Moo-Young Biotechnology Scholarship has been awarded to two Chemical Engineering students: Paul Chen, a PhD student who is being supervised by Professor Frank Gu, and Mark Bruder, a PhD student who is being supervised by Professor Marc Aucoin.
The Murray Moo-Young Biotechnology Scholarship was established in 1982 with a donation by Distinguished Professor Emeritus Murray Moo-Young to encourage research of bioprocessing strategies in industrial biomanufacturing and environmental bioremediation.
New and continuing graduate students who are pursuing studies in biotechnology and/or biochemical engineering are eligible for this scholarship. They must have high academic credentials. A significant portion of an applicant’s research must involve the direct use of biological materials or contain a significant level of relevance to bio-engineering.
Paul and Mark will have the opportunity to celebrate their awards at the annual Engineering Awards Dinner, to be hosted by the Faculty of Engineering this fall.
