Professor Aldrin Gomes, a faculty member in the Department of Neurobiology, Physiology, and Behavior and a PREP@UC Davis mentor, was selected for a UC Davis 2023 Distinguished Graduate and Postdoctoral Mentorship Award. Aldrin, one of four awardees selected from over 40 faculty members nominated, was recognized for exceptional guidance and support of UC Davis graduate students and postdoctoral scholars’ academic and professional development. 

Aldrin's influences on PREP@UCD include Gomes lab undergraduate alumna and current UC Davis Neuroscience PhD student Celena Lozano, and PREP@UCD alumna and UC Irvine PhD student Anna Georgieva. He also directs the UC Davis IMSD program and MARC program -- both of which include PREP@UCD alumni in their number -- and mentors  visiting summer researchers through programs like UC Davis BioGAP.

Finally, because of the wealth of his experience and wisdom, Aldrin serves as a member of our steering committee.

Congratulations to Aldrin and thank you for all that you do!
