Sullan is the only scholar at a Canadian university among the 25 honourees named this year.</p> <p>Sullan's research is part of the global fight against antimicrobial resistance. Her lab is&nbsp;developing multifunctional and biocompatible nanomaterial-based therapeutics – or nanotherapeutics.&nbsp;She also seeks to address a gap in undergraduate laboratory curriculum by allowing students to study and probe surfaces and materials at the nanoscale.</p> <p>"It is highly motivating knowing that your contributions at the formative stage of your career have been recognized," says Sullan.&nbsp;"It makes me more excited to bring our research ideas into fruition. And the Cottrell Award will be instrumental to this; I see it as a gift that will keep on giving. I am also truly excited to be part of the Cottrell community of Scholars."</p> <p>Sullan joins Professor&nbsp;<strong>Andrei Yudin</strong>, who was named a Cottrell Scholar in 2001, as winners of this award from the department of chemistry.</p> <h3><a href="/news/nanoparticles-show-promise-defeating-antibiotic-resistant-bacteria-u-t-researchers-find">Read more about Sullan</a></h3> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Chemistry</div> <div class="field field--name-field-top-story-hub-page- field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Top Story (Hub page)</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> Fri, 12 Feb 2021 18:40:45 +0000 lanthierj 168380 at
