Bruce R. Conklin ’75 Receives Alumnus Achievement Award at Reunion on May 8
In April of 2008 Bruce Conklin spent a morning at Foote talking to eighth and ninth grade science students about his specialty – stem cell research. 
He made his presentation very accessible, and students were totally engaged, asking lots of questions. Earlier that year, Bruce was named to the SciAM 50, “Scientific American” magazine’s annual list of leaders in science and technology. He came back a year later and spoke with our ninth grade biology students the day before receiving his award.
His pioneering work focuses on differentiating stem cells into heart cells from patients who suffer from heart diseases and also on stem cell-derived tissues to determine how common drugs work. He sees what he does as a merger of basic science and medical research and says he is “driven by the joy in discovery and the excitement in finding ways to make better medicines.
Foote is delighted that Bruce Conklin accepted this year’s Alumnus Achievement Award.
