UTA Student Receives NIH Funding to Understand the Cell Death Process

Nathan Rather

A junior biology major at The University of Texas at Arlington has received a National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant to fund his summer research project investigating the processes that lead to cell death.

Nathan Rather, who works in the Ghose Lab under the leadership of Piya Ghose, assistant professor of biology, earned the award from the NIH’s National Institute of General Medical Sciences. The grant is a supplement to Ghose’s NIH Maximizing Investigator’s Research Award/Outstanding Investigator Award. The program provides funds to support undergraduate students who are considering pursuing biomedical research careers by providing research experiences in cutting-edge scientific environments during the summer.
