The Whitney Laboratory for Marine Bioscience
Congratulations to Whitney Laboratory, UF College of Chemistry graduate student Saje Green who was recently awarded a prestigious fellowship from The National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP)! The fellowship will support three of her graduate years at the Whitney Laboratory and the University of Florida.
While at Whitney, Saje intends to continue her study of marine natural products looking for both new bioactive and ecologically relevant molecules. Specifically, she intends to study the chemical interactions governing cnidarian holobionts, by exploring metabolites produced from cnidarian associated microbes.
The NSF GRFP is the country’s oldest fellowship program that directly supports graduate students in various STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) fields. The program recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students in NSF-supported science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines who are pursuing research-based master’s and doctoral degrees at accredited United States institutions.
