NMU Joins Bee Campus USA Program

Cinelli is NMU's Peter White Scholar

Maris Cinelli, assistant professor of chemistry at Northern Michigan University, is leading important research to identify new plant-derived compounds that could combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria. She received NMU's Peter White Scholar Award for the current academic year to support the effort. Cinelli describes the award as a great honor, but is quick to credit the talent and dedication of the student researchers in her lab.
