Kadine Hamilton '08, of Bronx, NY, is one of 53 students throughout the nation awarded a APS/NIDDK Minority Travel Fellowship from the American Physiological Society, to attend the Experimental Biology 2008 conference from April 5-9 in San Diego, CA.

This multi-society interdisciplinary, biomedical and scientific meeting features plenary and award lectures, symposia, oral and poster sessions, a placement center, and an exhibit of scientific equipment, supplies and publications. The APS offers a number of fellowships specifically for minority undergraduate and graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. These fellowships are designed to not only provide important financial resources for the student, but to also offer opportunities to build connections with the physiology community. Awardees will have opportunities to network with both senior and junior physiologists and with minority postdoctoral fellows and graduate and undergraduate students.

Hamilton is a biology major, with a minor in chemistry, and a member of Chi Omega sorority.
