Shoutout to MIC Student Nadia Holness!

Congratulations to Nadia Holness, graduate student in Sarah Ewald's lab, on being selected for the highly competitive Howard Hughes Medical Institute Gilliam Fellowship. Holness’ project is designed to understand how a cell recognizes that it is infected. She hopes to learn why some microbes within the host cell are detected and destroyed while others in the same cell evade immune clearance.
