The University of Maryland launched 11 research impact projects via its Grand Challenges Grants Program in July. The Weitz group are involved with two of these funded efforts. Joshua Weitz is Director of the Predictive Biology Hub for Human and Environmental Health where he is joined by Associate Director Gabi Steinbach and Associate Director for Education, […]
We congratulate and welcome Spencer Hobson-Gutierrez, a new postdoctoral researcher joining us from NYU who will be working with the Weitz group and the Maltas group at the University of Maryland through a Quantitative Biology Initiative Postdoctoral Fellowship. Additionally, we congratulate Weitz group postdoc Julie Pourtois on her Quantitative Biology Initiative Postdoctoral Fellowship which will […]
Quan Nguyen, an undergraduate Weitz Group member since 2020, just graduated with a B.S. in Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering. Quan has spent his time in the Group designing algorithms that estimate the risk scores of viral infections. This fall, Quan will be starting a PhD in Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania. “I want to […]
