Congratulations to our very own Alicia Matthews for being selected by the American Society of Hematology to receive the ASH Hematology Inclusion Pathway (HIP) Graduate Student Award—a national honor recognizing promising early‑career hematology researchers.

This two‑year fellowship provides $40,000 in research funding, supporting Alicia’s work to develop a novel RNA‑based therapeutic designed to target the root cause of sickle cell disease. The award enables recipients to deepen their expertise and build the foundation needed to compete for future hematology research awards.
