Dr. Matt Anderson has been awarded the Science Diversity Leadership Award by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (in partnership with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine). Dr. Anderson, who is among the inaugural list of awardees for this award, was awarded this grant for his project entitled “Defining the Microbial Eukaryote Contributions to Rheumatoid Arthritis in American Indians.” This project will identify microbial eukaryotes associated with elevated rheumatoid arthritis incidence in Northern Plains American Indian communities and test taxa for disease outcomes. Congratulations, Matt!
