ARCS board members and Emory donors paid an onsite visit in May to the new Health Sciences Research Building II at Emory University. The building provides lab facilities for cardiology, pediatric, pulmonary, vaccine and several other areas of research.  We had a very interesting visit to Dr. Santangelo’s lab where they are studying RNA viruses and to Dr. Timov‘s lab where they provide and study 3D printing of all types of innovative and fascinating ideas like pediatric heart valves and deep brain stimulation instruments.   After our tour, Emory hosted a wonderful lunch where we heard from Dean Kimberly Jacob Arriola and two fantastic former ARCS scholars, Dr. Elizabeth Sajewski and Dr. Hemali Oza, who spoke about the impact the ARCS Award had on their lives and the wonderful friendships they have with ARCS members and other scholars. 

Thank you to Emory University, the James T. Laney School of Graduate Studies, and Dean Kimberly Jacob Arriola for hosting ARCS Atlanta for this ARCS Foundation appreciation luncheon and tour of Emory University's new Health Sciences Research Building II.  It was a pleasure to honor the accomplishments of our Emory Scholars and the 30+ year relationship of Emory University and ARCS Foundation Atlanta.

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!"

Thanks from Scholar Natale Sciolino

"Thank you dearly for your generous contribution to my scientific development. Your contribution has had a profound impact on me at both a personal and professional level. It is a privilege to be an ARCS Scholar, and with this support I will continue to pursue research that aims to advance Neuroscience."

Thanks from Scholar Kira Newman

"I can only begin to express how grateful I am for the freedom to pursue an independent line of research without having to worry about how I will pay for the necessary lab supplies or training. This award is allowing me to answer broader and more valuable questions than I had previously thought possible... Thank you so much for your kindness, generosity, and belief in my potential as a scientist."
