Computational biologist Dr. Anat Zimmer, a post-doctoral researcher in Dr. Gavin Ha’s lab at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, was awarded a 2022-23 fellowship by the American Association of University Women, or AAUW.
One of the world’s oldest leading supporters of graduate women’s education, the AAUW offers monetary awards to alleviate financial stress so women can focus on their educational and career aspirations.
Zimmer, who relocated with her family from Israel, joined Fred Hutch in the summer of 2021, smack in the middle of the pandemic. Her interests include systems biology and applying computational tools to study, predict and prevent human diseases.
