Congratulations Nehal - Completed Thesis Defense!

Congratulations to Nehal Patel who sucessfully defended his master's thesis today.  He did a great job and has accomplished so much as a graduate student here over the past 2 years.  He has authored a book chapter, received a Sigma Xi Grant in Aid of Research, attended and presented at a national conference, and is preparing another manuscript for publication.  In the fall Nehal plans to attend Tulane where he will pursue a PhD in Cell and Molecular Biology.  We could not be prouder of Nehal and all that he has achieved.
