I am pleased to report that one of our med students, Zac Fica has been selected for a NIH Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service award through our institutional training grant T35HL007744. Zac will work with my group improving ClinVar Miner over the summer. I met Zac while facilitating case-based learning modules for the school of Medicine. Zac has a bioengineering background and an interest in informatics.
