American Society for Microbiology honors Travis D. Hull

June 8th, 2009

A 2009 American Society for Microbiology (ASM) Raymond W. Sarber Award is being presented to Travis D. Hull, an undergraduate student at Juniata College, Huntington, PA. This award recognizes students at the undergraduate and predoctoral levels for research excellence and potential. It is presented in honor of Raymond W. Sarber and his contributions to the growth and advancement of the ASM.

Mr. Hull has conducted independent research in the microbial genetics laboratory since 2006 where he has accomplished several things in the field of microbial development. His research has focused on the study of prokaryotic development, using transposon mutagenesis as a genetic tool in the model organism, Streptomyces coelicolor. He has characterized several interesting cell division and developmental mutations. Mr. Hull spent the summer of 2008 in the laboratory of Gregory Stahl at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital where he researched immunology and physiology using eukaryotic mouse models. He received an American Heart Association Undergraduate Summer Fellowship which provided extramural funding for his summer project.

He has recently completed his secondary applications for M.D./Ph.D. programs where he would like to pursue a career in infectious disease research and the medical profession.
