Three Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine graduate students were selected to receive the BridgesDH NSF-NRT Fellowship. The students are Evan Cramer from Dr. Aaron Robart’s lab, and Hunter Aliff and Alexis Crockett from Dr. Visvanathan Ramamurthy’s lab. The fellowship stipend is for two years at $34,000 for each year. The program also includes elements that will allow the students to receive a Graduate Certificate in Digital Health once completed. The fellowship focuses on creatively training graduate students in topics of artificial intelligence and digital health.
"As Co-Director of the Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine Graduate Program, I'm thrilled to see our students chosen as fellows for the NSF's Bridges in Digital Health Program. Integration of computer science and AI into biomedical research is becoming increasingly important. This fellowship provides an excellent opportunity for these talented students to earn a certificate in digital health, connect with other WVU departments, and make critical contributions to this rapidly evolving field by applying AI to their unique research problems," exclaims Dr. Robart.
“I am grateful for being awarded the NSF Bridges in Digital Health Fellowship, which marks a significant milestone in my academic and professional journey,” Hunter states.
“I am excited to be selected for the Bridges in Digital Health fellowship and I am looking forward to learning more of how I can apply data science and AI techniques to my research,” states Alexis.
“I’m really excited to begin the Bridges fellowship and looking forward to the opportunity to learn more about how computational and biological sciences can be combined,” Evan states.
