Congratulations to Evelyn Cheng, selected as an inaugural 2026-2027 Todd W. Rockway (Early Career) Award Recipient!

"My name is Evelyn Cheng, and I am a third-year Biochemistry graduate student in the Brown Lab at the University of Arizona. My research combines experimental spectroscopy with theoretical modeling to investigate how membrane lipids influence protein function and dynamics. This work is important for advancing our understanding of the fundamental biophysical principles that govern biological processes. This award will provide me with the opportunity to continue advancing my research, develop as an independent scientist, and build a strong foundation for future scientific opportunities." ~ Evelyn
