BME PhD student Kathryn Drzewiecki has recently been awarded a $15k P.E.O (Philanthropic Educational Organization) Scholar Award. The P.E.O. Sisterhood is interested in bringing increased opportunities for higher education to women. The P.E.O. Scholar Award was established in 1991 to provide substantial merit-based awards for women who are pursuing a doctoral level degree at an accredited college or university. Kathryn`s research involves developing a technique for free-form fabrication of soft tissues using a photocrosslinkable, thermoreversible collagen-based biomaterial. Kathryn is advised by Professor David Shreiber.
