Sigma Xi Accepts NHS Student Poster
Sigma Xi recently accepted Boyd's abstract, which focuses on, "Viral Mutations Responsible for Drug Resistance Among Antiretroviral Treatment-naïve HIV-1 Infected Individuals in Washington, D.C." The organization, founded in 1886, was created to honor excellence in scientific investigation and encourage a sense of companionship and cooperation among researchers in all fields of science and engineering. This summer, Boyd was busy working on her research through the Lisa Joy Raines Endowed Undergraduate Research Fellowship program. As a fellow, Boyd received $5,000 of summer research funding. In addition, Boyd is part of a research team at NHS that is studying antiretroviral drug resistance in HIV/AIDS. She and other undergraduates have been working closely with Michael Relf, chair of the Department of Nursing, and Charles Evans, chair of the Department of Human Science.
