The Luttge Award is an open competition, honoring the graduate student of the year. This year, the William G. Luttge Award for Outstanding Graduate Research in Neuroscience competition was held on April 2 ,2021 at 2pm via zoom. Faculty and staff were invited.
The William G. Luttge Award for Outstanding Graduate Research in Neuroscience was established on funds donated by Dr. Sati Kalra, Distinguished Emeritus Professor of Neuroscience, in the honor of Dr. Luttge, the Founding Executive Director of the McKnight Brain Institute. This distinction is awarded annually to Neuroscience PhD students who participate in a 15-minute oral competition. The top three students received monetary awards. The winner is engraved on a plate for the plaque that adorns the office suite and he/she goes on to represent the Neuroscience concentration at the College of Medicine Medical Guild Competition.
Congratulations to our students Yuxing Xia, Doug Miller, Kalene Jasso, and Phillip Mackie, pictured to the left, on being selected as winners of the 8th annual William G. Luttge Award for Outstanding Graduate Research in Neuroscience.
