In August 2020, the BUSM Pulmonary Center community experience the shocking and sudden loss of Kayla Bell, a research technician in the Maglione laboratory of the Pulmonary Center. Not only was Kayla a highly talented scientist and aspiring immunologist, she was a consummate team player always looking for ways to help out in the Pulmonary Center. In the spirit of Kayla’s thoughtful and eager generosity, we would like to establish a Kayla Bell Pulmonary Center Citizenship Award. This award will be an occasion to celebrate and commemorate the time that Kayla shared with us, bestowed annually to a member of the Pulmonary Center who most embodies Kayla’s kind and helpful manner.
Congratulations to our the 2021 winner of the Kayla Bell Citizenship Award, MD/PhD student Neelouo Etesami!
