Adrian Heckart, MS student in the Alonso Lab, won first place in the 3MT competition
($3,000 price), and he's moving to the next level of the competition!
I am honored to have won this year's Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition! The event
challenged me to explain my complex research on deciphering the metabolism of a human
fungal pathogen into a concise and engaging presentation for a diverse audience. It
was an incredibly rewarding experience to share my work and its potential impact in
an accessible format. I am proud to represent the University of North Texas and the
BioDiscovery Institute as I advance to the next stage of the 3MT competition. Many
thanks to my advisor and peers for their invaluable support throughout this journey.
