The Office of Institutional Advancement and Office of Research are pleased to announce the first recepient of the Dr. Ben F. Bryer Foundation Medical Research Fund award:

Dr. Joseph Sucic from the Department of Biology for his project “Subtilisin-like Proprotein Convertases and Metastasis.” Congratulations Dr. Sucic!

The Bryer fund was established by the family of Ben F. Bryer to encourage and support the medical research endeavors of University of Michigan-Flint faculty.  This research fund honors the accomplishments of Ben Bryer, surgeon, scientist, educator, author, and humanist, in his pursuit of medical knowledge.  Several excellent proposals were received and the Research and Creative Activity Committee selected Dr. Sucic’s proposal for the award ($6,795).  Special gratitude is extended to Dr. Bryer’s sister and foundation trustee, Bess Hurand, and her husband Arthur for making this fund possible.
