Monica Dus, Ph.D.
As a Guggenheim Fellow, Dr. Dus received a grant, which she can spend in a manner without restrictions or conditions. She also has been granted a sabbatical leave, in which she plans to fund her research for a popular book on food-gene interactions, a field known as nutrigenomics.
“This is the book I wanted to research and write during my sabbatical, and now, thanks to the generous support of the Guggenheim Foundation, I can actually do it,” Dus said.
Please help us congratulate Dr. Dus on this exemplary achievement.
