Congratulations to the MCB Department for being awarded the University's Department Award for Excellence! This annual award recognizes departmental excellence in the management of people and resources.

Daniela Ortiz, ’21 will graduate with a double major (MCB and Biochemistry, as well as a minor in public health), and is the latest winner of the Danny Brower Memorial Scholarship.

Lillian Delacruz (MCB '21) was one of MCB's 2020 Margaret Bilson Scholarship awards winners.

Every year, the University of Arizona awards The Gerald G. Swanson Prize for Teaching Excellence to only three instructors in recognition of excellence in undergraduate teaching at the University. Dr. Lisa Rezende, Assistant Professor of Practice in the MCB Department, was selected as one of the winners

When I asked Son how he reacted when he learned he was selected as the MCB Outstanding Senior, he told me “I was just so surprised - I was shocked that I was the one picked. I look at my colleagues and they are amazing people!

The spring 2020 Excellence in Undergraduate Research was awarded to Bennett Van Camp. This award is presented to an MCB senior who has demonstrated excellence in their undergraduate research.

The Buchan Lab was recently featured in UA News for their research on two proteins – TDP-43 and FUS - and how healthy cells clear out these proteins and how their findings may one day be applied to ALS therapies.
