Jose Rios-Monterrosa, a Research Distinction Track Medical Student in the laboratory of Lori Wallrath, was awarded a Society for Redox Biology and Medicine (SfRBM) Young Investigator Award for his presentation "Modeling LMNA-associated muscular dystrophy in Drosophila and iPS cell derived cardiomyocytes revealed loss of redox homeostasis" at the 2021 SfRBM Annual Conference. Jose and co-authors identified biological pathways that contribute to poor health of muscles caused by mutations in the LMNA gene, which encodes nuclear envelope proteins called lamins. Jose will receive free registration at next year's conference and a cash award.
