Submitted by Kimberly Quigley on

Assistant Professor Ashleigh Theberge has been selected to receive a 2018 Beckman Young Investigator Award. She is one of ten recipients selected from applicants across the chemical and life sciences following a three-part review led by a panel of scientific experts.

Through the Beckman Young Investigator Program, the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation aims to support the most promising young faculty members in the early stages of their academic careers in the chemical and life sciences, particularly to foster the invention of methods, instruments and materials that will open new avenues of research in science. The Foundation is committed to helping launch the next generation of talented scientists by giving them the funding and flexibility they need to pursue novel areas of study that have the potential for revolutionary breakthroughs.

For her selection as a Beckman Young Investigator by the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation Board of Directors, Professor Theberge will receive up to $600,000 over four years in support of her proposed research, Uncovering Chemical Signals in Complex Cellular Environments with Open Microfluidic Methods.
