Winston Fellow Competition 2025
Join us for the Winston Fellow Competition on Thursday, May 29, at Connor Auditorium, where ITVS Pathway students will compete live for the $5000 Winston Fellow Award. Postdoc finalists will present their research during the Vision Research Forum on Friday, May 16. Presentations will be judged on scientific merit by a panel of faculty judges.
The winners of both the student and postdoc Winston Fellow Awards will be announced at the reception following the seminar, which will begin at 5:15 p.m. in the FLTC Atrium.
In-person attendance is strongly encouraged, but virtual attendance is available upon request by contacting Jenna Krizan at krizanj@wustl.edu.
In December 2022, David (A&S ‘74) and Deborah Winston made a generous gift to establish the Winston Fellow Award in the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences.
This unique award will support graduate students who are receiving specific training in vision science through the Interdisciplinary Training in Vision Sciences Pathway. The overall goal of the program is to attract a group of gifted, well-trained biomedical scientists to careers in vision research to continue unlocking the mysteries of eye disease.
