YSP has a new student director...

The Young Scientist Program welcomes Chris Affolter as the new YSP student director. Chris was a YSP Summer Focus participant in 2002 and is currently a graduate student in the Microbiology program at Washington University. As a member of the lab of Dr. Wayne Yokoyama, he is researching BAC recombineering of murine cytomegalovirus for the study of viral infection, immune evasion, and latency. We look forward to Chris' leadership over the 09-10 academic year.

Also, BIG thanks to our outgoing student director, Britney Moss. Under Britney's excellent leadership YSP has continued to grow and expand. Thanks Britney for a job well done!!
