Internal Scholarships

The R.A.Kelln – J. Neuhard Graduate Entrance Scholarship in Biochemistry/Molecular Biology was established by Dr. Rod A. Kelln, Professor Emeritus of Chemistry/Biochemistry, and former Dean, Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, to assist graduate students entering a graduate program in Biochemistry or Molecular Biology at the University of Regina. For over twenty years, Dr. Kelln and Dr. Jan Neuhard (University of Copenhagen, Denmark) maintained a research collaboration funded through several jointly held NATO International Collaborative Scientific Research Grants and individual grants from NSERC (RAK) and the Danish Science Foundation (JN). Dr. Neuhard was an internationally recognized researcher for his pioneering work in the biochemistry and genetics of pyrimidine metabolism in bacteria.
