(May 2006) – Felicia Walton, an undergraduate student in the Department of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology at the Duke University Medical Center, has been invited to participate in the Dean's Summer Fellowship Program in support of undergraduate research and inquiry in the arts and sciences this summer.
