Yi-Jang awarded Albert J. Ryan Fellowship
Congratulations Yi-Jang Lin! She has been awarded the Albert J. Ryan Fellowship, described below:
The Albert J. Ryan Fellowship was established in 1967 by Mr. Ryan's daughter in order to recognize "outstanding students who show promise of becoming research scholars and who show a capacity to contribute to the advancement of knowledge of medical science." The Ryan Foundation seeks to recognize students who have demonstrated excellence in their course work and in their research, and to provide these students an opportunity to share their research with other Fellows and faculty from the three beneficiaries of the Albert J. Ryan Foundation. These are Dartmouth College, the University of Cincinnati, and the Division of Medical Sciences at Harvard.
