The Showalter Trust research grants support studies directed by assistant professors in the areas of environmental science; biochemistry and molecular biology; disease prevention, diagnosis, progression, treatment, and control; new technologies for food production, preservation, distribution, and safety; and medical and biophysical instrumentation.  Dr. Lanman received a grant for her research project entitled, “Developing a Novel Method for Predicting Drug Response in Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma Using a Naturally-Occurring Canine Model System.” 

The 11 early career faculty members received up to $75,000 each in funding from the Ralph W. and Grace M. Showalter Research Trust, which has benefited Purdue researchers for more than 40 years.  Click here to view a complete news release on the Showalter programs at Purdue.
