Student researchers at the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences (SMHS) showcased their passion for scientific research in the 2026 Art of Science contest.
Since 2017, SMHS students and postdoctoral researchers have highlighted the beauty and breadth of their ongoing research through the annual Art of Science contest, offering a visual window into the complex world of biomedical science. Winners, selected by jury of SMHS faculty, received cash prizes, and selected images will be displayed in the Dean’s Suite in Ross Hall and in Himmelfarb Library.
Sarah Kleb, a PhD student in the Integrated Biomedical Sciences program, earned the Grand Prize for her image of Adipocyte cells (red) with activated Cre (green) — and co-staining as yellow — in a transgenic model.
Other winners included, Woudasie Admasu, PhD student in the Integrated Biomedical Sciences program; Gabriel Batzli, PhD student in the Integrated Biomedical Sciences program; Marcelina Goldstein, graduate student in the Graduate Certificate in Anatomical and Translational Sciences (GCATS) program; Lauren Smith, PhD student in the Integrated Biomedical Sciences program; and Noah Williams, PhD student in the Integrated Biomedical Sciences program.
