Second-year medical student Kayla Sifre won the Excellence in Student Research award at the School of Medicine and Public Health’s 23rd Annual Medical Student Research Forum in November. Forty students were selected through a competitive process in which they presented their research with a podium talk in four concurrent sessions, with each session selecting a winner. Sifre’s presentation, “Changes in Kidney Oxygenation in Preterm Neonates with Acute Kidney Injury,” was scored highest in her session by faculty, students, and staff in attendance. Sifre was a 2024 Shapiro Summer Research Program student in the Department of Pediatrics; she was mentored by Matthew Harer, MD, associate professor, Division of Neonatology and Newborn Nursery.
