A Dazzling Dean’s Day for the Hartman Lab!

This year’s Dean’s Day at the School of Public Health was a smashing success for the Hartman Lab! The brilliant Elon Holmes presented Tropism of Rift Valley Fever Virus (RVFV) in Placenta Trophoblast Lineages highlighting her work as a PhD student collaborating with Dr. Cindy McMillen on studying the mechanisms of RVFV vertical transmission.

Elon and her fabulous poster!

Our lovely postdoc Dr. Rachael Rush also presented Cross-Platform Comparison of Novel Rift Valley Fever Virus Vaccine Candidates discussing some of her ongoing work with the ReVAMPP project.

The wonderful Dr. Rush presenting her work!

For her exceptional work, Dr. Rush also was honored with the “Outstanding Postdoctoral Trainee Award” at Dean’s Day!

The star quality of one of our Master’s Students, Andrew Wheeler, was also highlighted as he received the “Dean’s Day Service Award”! Congratulations to Elon, Rachael, and Andrew on their incredible work and representation of the Hartman Lab!
