Biochemistry major named Glenn Nagel Award winner at symposium

 

Fresno State biochemistry major Gurmannat Chalotra loves to see the chemistry reactions that she learns about in class come to life in the lab. 

Chalotra, a junior from Hanford and President’s Scholar in the Smittcamp Family Honors College, has worked in Dr. Qiao-Hong Chen’s laboratory at Fresno State for more than a year researching potential therapeutics for prostate cancer. 

“You get to manipulate experimental conditions and you don’t necessarily have an idea of what to expect. You don’t know necessarily what’s going to come out of it,” said Chalotra, who joined the lab during her sophomore year. “I think that the unknown is what’s especially exciting about [research].”

In January, Chalotra was one of about 35 Fresno State students and faculty to attend the 37th annual California State University Biotechnology Symposium, previously known as CSUPERB, to network, to learn and to present their research projects. The major event is hosted by CSU BIOTECH, a network of faculty, deans and presidents representing all 23 CSU campuses.
