Biography of the Saracheks

"Kansas State University has traditionally offered a broad array of quality programs in the life sciences, many of which have outstanding reputations, nationally. Having taken my PhD in Genetics from KSU a half a century ago, my wife RosaLee and I are delighted to be able to contribute to that tradition of excellence by providing a special fellowship for recognition and support of advanced doctoral candidates from any field of study who have demonstrated exceptional research accomplishments involving molecular approaches to biological problems."

-- Dr. Alvin Sarachek
