Gerry Koons, an M.D./Ph.D. student at Rice and Baylor College of Medicine, has been selected to attend the 70th annual Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting, where engineering, medical and science students from around the world meet with winners of the Nobel Prize.
The meetings focus alternately on physiology and medicine, physics, and chemistry, the three natural science Nobel Prize disciplines. An interdisciplinary meeting devoted to all three natural sciences is held every five years, including the one Koons will attend. The event consists of lectures, discussions, master classes and panel discussions.
Because of the coronavirus, this year’s meeting has been postponed until June 27-July 2, 2021. As a member of the Mikos Research Group, Koons’ work focuses on 3D printing for bone tissue engineering. She earned her B.S. in biomedical engineering summa cum laude from the University of South Carolina in 2014.
Six-hundred fifty undergraduates, graduate students and postdocs will meet with from 60 to 70 Nobel Laureates in Lindau, Germany. The meetings are intended to encourage exchanges among scientists of different generations, cultures and disciplines.
