Tour of Emory University's new Health Sciences Research Building II

Recent ARCS Events

ARCS board members and Emory donors paid an onsite visit in May to the new Health Sciences Research Building II at Emory University. The building provides lab facilities for cardiology, pediatric, pulmonary, vaccine and several other areas of research.  We had a very interesting visit to Dr. Santangelo’s lab where they are studying RNA viruses and to Dr. Timov‘s lab where they provide and study 3D printing of all types of innovative and fascinating ideas like pediatric heart valves and deep brain stimulation instruments.   After our tour, Emory hosted a wonderful lunch where we heard from Dean Kimberly Jacob Arriola and two fantastic former ARCS scholars, Dr. Elizabeth Sajewski and Dr. Hemali Oza, who spoke about the impact the ARCS Award had on their lives and the wonderful friendships they have with ARCS members and other scholars. 

Thank you to Emory University, the James T. Laney School of Graduate Studies, and Dean Kimberly Jacob Arriola for hosting ARCS Atlanta for this ARCS Foundation appreciation luncheon and tour of Emory University's new Health Sciences Research Building II.  It was a pleasure to honor the accomplishments of our Emory Scholars and the 30+ year relationship of Emory University and ARCS Foundation Atlanta.

Thanks from Alum Alejandro Toriella, PhD, Assistant Professor, Industrial Engineering, Georgia Tech

Thank you very much for your support.  It meant a lot.  I had the opportunity to return to Tech as a faculty member last year.  I’m very happy to be back and hope I can advise a future ARCS scholar soon!

Thanks from Alum Collette Miller, Postdoctoral Fellow at US Environmental Protection Agency

"Thank you all for reaching out and the support over the years. It's been a rocky few years following the passing of my doctoral research mentor a few weeks prior to my dissertation defense. Trying to rebound from his loss, finishing my dissertation, and figuring out where to go from there was challenging to say the least ... Thank you again for your support. Honestly I did not know how much I would have ended up relying on the generous gift that the Atlanta Chapter of ARCS Foundation provided when it was first received. However, it was vital in helping me launch a new chapter in my career when I found my plans collapse when my mentor passed. Again, THANK YOU!"

Thanks from Alum Tim Sampson, Postdoctoral Scholar at Caltech

I am immensely grateful to the ARCS Foundation and Turner Enterprises for making my award possible. I am honored to have been part of the talented and promising group of young researchers from the Atlanta-area!
