Dr. Wojtovich, who was promoted just last year from Postdoctoral Fellow to Research Assistant Professor, received a 9th percentile on his recent first-round R01 application, which utilizes optogenetics in worms to study mitochondrial ROS signaling, and he just found out that the grant will be funded by NINDS.

We anticipate that this means he will be leaving us…

With an R01 in hand, his job search has just become much easier, though! The best part of this business is seeing your trainees experience their own success.
