Congratulations to Hayati Wolfenden, a Biochemistry & Biophysics senior from Bend, Ore., on taking top honors at the 2016 Celebrating Undergraduate Excellence (CUE) competition!
Hayati presented her research: “Site-specific Modification of Glucose Proteins Enabling Precise Surface Orientation for Glucose Sensors.” She worked in the research lab of her advisor Ryan Mehl, an Associate Professor in the Biochemistry and Biophysics Department.
The annual competition showcases academic or creative work in a formal setting. a mark of true accomplishment in an undergraduate education. Undergraduate research offers students the opportunity to synthesize and apply knowledge while gaining a high level of insight into the process.
