2025 Annual Meeting

Recent ARCS Events

Over fifty ARCS members and guests attended the ARCS Atlanta Annual Meeting and Luncheon held on May 7, 2025, at Ansley Golf Club.  Our speakers were Dr. Jon P. Mochel, Professor of Systems Pharmacology and Founding Director of Precision One Health Initiative at UGA, and Dr. Christopher Zdyrski, Research Professional of Precision One Health.  Dr. Mochel and Dr. Zdyrski gave a fascinating presentation titled “Transforming Life for Man and Man’s Best Friend” on research to develop personalized healthcare strategies that provide individuals with the most effective treatment options at the right time. The mission of Precision One Health is centered on personalized medicine, which includes risk assessment, exploration of significant biological mutations, vaccine and drug development, and the selection of customized therapies based on molecular profiling.

A highlight of the ARCS Board Meeting was the passing of the gavel from our wonderful 2023-2025 ARCS Atlanta President Carolynn Cooper to our incoming President Frances Swensson.  We also had the pleasure of welcoming our ARCS Atlanta Founding President Mary O’Connor back to Atlanta from Washington, D.C.

Thanks from Scholar Kevin Yehl

"I was very fortunate to be selected as one of this year's ARCS scholars... I plan to pursue an academic career in chemistry... Your support will allow me to continue my biomedical research in developing novel strateigies to treat drug resistant cancers and cardiovascular diseases... Again, thank you so much for your support of the sciences and post graduate education, both of which are very important in keeping America competitive..."

Thanks from Alum Eliot Quon, Postdoctoral Researcher at National Renewable Energy Laboratory

ARCS Foundation has been a highlight of my academic career thus far, thank you for the support!

Thanks from Alum Collette Miller, Postdoctoral Fellow at US Environmental Protection Agency

"Thank you all for reaching out and the support over the years. It's been a rocky few years following the passing of my doctoral research mentor a few weeks prior to my dissertation defense. Trying to rebound from his loss, finishing my dissertation, and figuring out where to go from there was challenging to say the least ... Thank you again for your support. Honestly I did not know how much I would have ended up relying on the generous gift that the Atlanta Chapter of ARCS Foundation provided when it was first received. However, it was vital in helping me launch a new chapter in my career when I found my plans collapse when my mentor passed. Again, THANK YOU!"
