TEXAS A&M GENETICS AND GENOMICS PHD PROGRAM OVERVIEW
WELCOME THE 2024 GGEN INCOMING PHD STUDENTS
IN THE SPOTLIGHT
The Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Genetics and Genomics at Texas A&M University proudly announces that our Program Chair, Dr. Zach Adelman, and Faculty of Genetics from Soil and Crop Sciences, Dr. Seth Murray, were formally recognized as 2023 fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) on Saturday, September 21. Congratulations to both!
AAAS is the world’s largest multidisciplinary scientific society and publisher of the Science journals. One of the most distinguished honors within the scientific community, fellows of the AAAS are a cadre of global scientists, engineers and innovators who have been recognized for their academic and administrative achievements geared toward communicating science to the public.
We are proud of their scientific excellence, fostering trust in science throughout the GGEN community they serve, and for their leadership and contribution to the next generation of scientists while advancing the scientific enterprise!
We are so excited to celebrate this achievement with you!

GGSA CONFERENCE AWARDS
Congratulations to Ph.D. Student, Marianny Alvarado-Gonzalez from the Dr. Masako Suzuki Lab.
Marianny received this award for attending the International Retinoids Conference (IRC) in St. Paul, Minnesota from July 7-11, 2024, where she had the opportunity to present both an oral and poster presentation on her project titled ‘Strain specific differences in the effects of dietary vitamin A and fat intakes on female mice”. The IRC is a bi-annual international conference where international researchers gather to discuss novelties within the basic, clinical, translational retinoid research to further elucidate vitamin A’s potential role on therapeutics, nutrition and biological response. We’re so proud of that Marianny had the chance to attend and participate of such important conference and we’re excited to continue supporting her professional development wherever she presents next!
Congratulations to Ph.D. Candidate, Emily Reed from the Dr. Adam Case Lab.
Emily received this award for attending the Psychoneuroimmunology Research Society (PNIRS) Meeting in Halifax, Canada from June 24-27, 2024, where she had the opportunity to present her project titled ‘Hemoglobin regulates T-lymphocyte function after psychological trauma’. The Psychoneuroimmunology Research Society Meeting is an international conference where research from disciplines such as psychology, neuroscience, immunology, pharmacology, psychiatry and others are highlighted by scientists from all over the world. We’re so proud of that Emily had the chance to attend and participate of such important conference and we’re excited to continue supporting her professional development wherever she presents next!
Congratulations to PhD candidate, Ana Velasquez, from the Dr. Threadgill lab, for being selected to receive the Spring 2024 GGSA Conference Award!
Ana received this award for attending The Allied Genetics Conference (TAGC) 2024 in Washington, DC from March 6-10, 2024, where she had the opportunity to present a poster titled ‘Understanding the reproductive aberrations caused by the mouse t-haplotype’. Every four years, TAGC comes along to unite the different research done in the various genetics model organisms. We’re so proud that Ana had the chance to attend and present in such an important conference and we’re excited to continue supporting her professional development wherever she presents next!
Congratulations to Ph.D. student, Destani Derrico, from the Dr. Golding lab, for being selected to receive the Spring 2024 GGSA Conference Award!
Destani received this award for attending the 47th Annual Research Society on Alcohol (RSA) Meeting in Minneapolis, MN from June 22-26, 2024, where she had the opportunity to present her project titled ‘Paternal Contributions to Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders and Exploration of Antioxidants as Potential Safeguards’. The RSA is an scientific conference where alcohol researchers disseminate novel findings on alcohol use and its effect to raise awareness to understand health implications associated with it. We’re so proud of that Destani had the chance to attend and participate of such important conference and we’re excited to continue supporting her professional development wherever she presents next!
Congratulations to PhD candidate, Ari from the Dr. Singh lab, for being selected to receive the Spring 2024 GGSA Conference Award!
Ari received this award for attending the Texas Genetics Society (TGS) 2024 in College Station, TX from March 21-23, 2024, where he had the opportunity to present his project titled ‘Consequences of IPA isoform loss in multiple myeloma’. TGS is a regional conference where undergraduates students, graduate students and faculty come together to discuss their advances in Genetics. We’re so proud of that Ari had the chance to attend and participate of such important conference and we’re excited to continue supporting his professional development wherever he presents next!
