Dr. EV Voltura Selected for Prestigious NIH IRACDA Postdoctoral Training Grant
The Schubot Center for Avian Health is proud to announce that Dr. EV Voltura, postdoctoral associate with VTPB/Schubot Center, has been selected for a highly competitive NIH IRACDA postdoctoral training grant position. This prestigious opportunity, effective December 1, 2024, is led by Drs. Rajesh Miranda (College of Medicine), Christopher Quick (CVMBS), and Gloria Regisford (Prairie View A&M University; PVAMU).
Dr. Voltura is among the first cohort of three postdoctoral trainees for the program, which aims to develop scholars with strong mentorship skills while fostering collaboration between Texas A&M University and faculty at PVAMU. She will continue to be mentored by Dr. Sarah Hamer, Schubot Center director, as she expands her research using birds at the Schubot aviary as models to study key health parameters relevant to human health.

We are excited to see Dr. Voltura’s contributions to both avian and human health research grow through this program. Congratulations, Dr. Voltura!
