“Sasha may go to graduate school for research,<br />
which is really what INBRE is all about.”<br />

<strong>Franklin</strong> <strong>Pierce</strong> with $200,000 for two and a<br />

up, Arruda will be able to reapply for another<br />
$200,000 to further the retinal disease research.<br />

for student research in the future.<br />
