Biochemistry graduate student Yoori Kim is one of two students from The University of Texas at Austin selected by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute to receive a prestigious international research fellowship.
Kim and Jianhe Guo, a graduate student in the Cockrell School of Engineering, are among only 45 predoctoral students from 18 countries who were chosen to receive International student Research Fellowships.
Kim, a native of South Korea, is a student in the Biochemistry Graduate Program and a member of the laboratory of Ilya Finkelstein, an assistant professor in the Department of Molecular Biosciences.
