NIMBB Students Are This Year’s BPI Science Awardees

Carla Gisela Ysabel Concepcion and Christina Lora Leyson, both graduating 4th year MBB students, won this year’s BPI Science Awards. Working on the “Cloning of Alcyonium Green Fluorescent Protein as a Potential Tracker of Cancer Metastasis” under Dr. Cynthia Saloma’s Laboratory of Molecular and Cellular Biology, Carla garnered the top spot. Christina, on the other hand, settled for second place with her thesis on the “Heterologous Expression of Abaca Bunchy Top Virus Coat Protein Gene and Production of Antibodies for ABTV Early Detection” under Dr. Vermando Aquino’s Plant Molecular Virology and Plant Molecular Biology Laboratory. This is the first time that the institute produced two winners in the same year.

No way to go but up!

Saloma was one of the recipients of this year’s Gawad Chanselor Award Para sa Natatanging Guro. Dr. Cynthia T. Hedreyda, the institute director, was the Achievement Awardee for the Biological Sciences given by the National Research Council of the Philippines. Lastly, Dr. Vermando M. Aquino was the recipient of the Outstanding Alumnus Award in Botany given during the 25th Founding Anniversary of the Institute of Biological Sciences in the University of the Philippines Los Banos. These awards were handed out just this March 2008. Kudos to Dr. Saloma, Dr. Hedreyda, and Dr. Aquino!
