Xiangyun (Joyce) Xu was awarded an Engineering Learning Initiatives Undergraduate Research Award for her proposal entitled, “Characterization of tissue composition in Type II diabetic human bone.” The ELI grant provides support for living and research expenses for her research in the lab this summer. Congratulations Joyce!
Diaz awarded ELI Undergraduate Research Award
David Diaz was awarded an Engineering Learning Initiatives Undergraduate Research Award for his proposal entitled, “Assessment of bone tissue composition in a mouse model of Type II diabetes.” The ELI grant provides support for research expenses for his research in the lab this fall. Congratulations David!

Donnelly receives ASBMR Harold M. Frost Young Investigator Award
The American Society for Bone and Mineral Research has awarded Prof. Donnelly the Harold M. Frost Young Investigator Award. She will accept the award at the Sun Valley Workshop on Skeletal Biology in Sun Valley, ID August 4-7 2013. More information is available at the ASBMR award announcement.
Donnelly awarded NIH career development grant
Despite having higher than average bone density, patients with type 2 diabetes paradoxically have increased risk of fracture relative to individuals without diabetes. NIH/NIAMS has awarded Prof. Donnelly a career development grant to investigate the changes in collagen properties that occur in bone tissue with type 2 diabetes and their relationship to fracture risk. Key collaborators include Prof. Deepak Vashishth at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Dr. Joseph Lane at the Hospital for Special Surgery.
Donnelly awarded ASBMR Junior Faculty Osteoporosis Research Award
The American Society for Bone and Mineral Research has awarded Prof. Donnelly the 2012 Junior Faculty Osteoporosis Research (JFOR) Award to support her proposal, “Spectroscopic and Biochemical Markers of Bone Quality in Patients with Atypical Femoral Fractures.” She will accept the award at the ASBMR annual meeting on 14 October 2012.
