Chemical engineering PhD candidate Frances Lasowski has been named the 2014 Claudette MacKay-Lassonde Graduate Scholar.

The $15,000 award, presented by the Canadian engineering Memorial Foundation, recognizes female leaders in the field of engineering.

Lasowski’s work focuses on the delivery of therapeutics to prevent and treat childhood ocular conditions.

She’ll receive the award at the Canadian Engineering Memorial Foundation awards ceremony later in May.
