Lynne Chantranupong Receives 2025 Sloan Research Fellowship
Dr. Lynne Chantranupong recently received the 2025 Sloan Research Fellowship. The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation recognizes standout young scientists whose work is promising and innovative. The winners each receive $75,000 over two years.
When Dr. Chantranupong joined the BU’s faculty in January 2024, she launched multiple research projects to investigate cellular mechanisms in the brain. One of her focuses is elucidating how a specialized part of the cell, called the lysosome, gets rid of waste, and how this waste differs across neurons.
She recently started collaborating with Dr. Ji-Xin Cheng to image the contents of a single lysosome at higher resolutions. The Sloan Foundation award will support their collaboration and bolster Dr. Chantranupong’s ongoing research projects.
