Alexander Foo, Ph.D., from the Nuclear Magnetic Vibration Group, as well as Yosuke Sakamachi, Ph.D., coming from the Source Biology Group, also succeeded in 2013.Foo, left, mentored through Geoff Mueller, Ph.D., gained along with his abstract, "Vicilin Buried Peptides (VBPs) Moderate Cross-Reactivity In Between Evolutionary-Distant Types."
