Dr. Hinda Zlotnik, a microbiologist with extensive experience in
grant and program administration, has been appointed chief of the
Minority Biomedical Research Support Branch of the NIGMS
Division of Minority Opportunities in Research (MORE). She has

months as an NIH extramural associate, performing assignments
with the NIGMS Minority Access to Research Careers Branch and
