VARI | <strong>2008</strong><br />
Postdoctoral Fellowship Program<br />
The Van Andel Research Institute provides postdoctoral training opportunities to Ph.D. scientists beginning their research careers.<br />
The fellowships help promising scientists advance their knowledge and research experience while at the same time supporting<br />
the research endeavors of VARI. The fellowships are funded in three ways: 1) by the laboratories to which the fellow is assigned;<br />
2) by the VARI Office of the Director; or 3) by outside agencies. Each fellow is assigned to a scientific investigator who oversees<br />
the progress and direction of research. Fellows who worked in VARI laboratories in 2007 and early <strong>2008</strong> are listed below.<br />
