EMMA MOHR, MD, PHD, RECEIVES GRADUATE SCHOOL FALL COMPETITION AWARD


Emma Mohr, MD, PhD, was recently awarded $60,000 for her project entitled, “Early neural predictors and neuropathogenesis of sensorimotor neurodevelopmental deficits in macaque infants exposed to Zika virus in utero.” This one-year Fall Competition award from the UW Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Graduate Education will allow Dr. Mohr to continue to define the long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes of Zika virus-exposed infant macaques (non-human primates), identify early signs of neurodevelopmental deficits, and define the brain pathology underlying these deficits. Congratulations!
