PhD candidate Chris Hamm successfully defended his thesis on April 12, 2023 and now is Dr. Hamm! The good doctor has a great postdoc lined up at the University of Alabama-Birmingham, where he has also been awarded a competitive, NIH-funded MERIT fellowship that will also give him the opportunity to design a course and get teaching experience in parallel with his research. Chris is the first PhD to graduate from the Cabeen lab--we are so proud of you, Chris! He will begin his postdoc in July 2023.
