Regina S. Salvat — Clare Boothe Luce Graduate Fellowship
Faculty Advisor: Karl Griswold

Dr. Regina Salvat’s research examined experimental validation of deimmunization algorithms using the Enterobacter cloacae P99 β-lactamase, a component of Antibody Directed Enzyme Prodrug Therapies, as a model protein. Biotherapeutics have reshaped drug discovery and promise a continued revolution in disease therapy. Regina's work provides a rich data set for assessing the accuracy, efficiency, and overall utility of cutting-edge biotherapeutic deimmunization technologies. Her methods aim to accelerate the biotherapeutic design and development process. [Read more.]

Geneva Trotter — Clare Boothe Luce Graduate Fellowship
Faculty Advisor: Ian Baker

Geneva Trotter's PhD research at Dartmouth involves studying both the effects of deformation (rolling) on the precipitation processes in Lave phase-strengthened austenitic steels, including determining the mechanism of NiAl co-precipitation, and how these two kinds of precipitates affect subsequent deformation processes. A better understanding of the fundamentals and underlying causes of mechanical and microstructural responses observed in this alloy can be used as a model for other systems with complex matrix-precipitate relationships.
