Annette Kade Fellowship Program

Since 2002, the Annette Kade Fellowship Program has provided the opportunity for graduate students of any nationality who are enrolled at French and German students to study at the Museum for 3 months, and for American Museum of Natural History graduate students to study at institutions across France and Germany institutions for 3 months. With the support of the Annette Kade Charitable Trust Fund, an extraordinary array of talented international students have taken advantage of the Museum’s cutting-edge facilities and technology, world-class collections and the expertise of our curatorial faculty and scientific staff. At the same time, AMNH graduate students at the Museum have gained invaluable experience working with expert scientists at top institutions abroad. The Annette Kade Fellowship Program thus strengthens the Museum’s institutional partnerships and helps to build a better trained and more interactive international scientific community.

The Annette Kade Fellows for 2020 are:

Nayeli Gutiérrez, an RGGS Comp Bio PhD Student, will be working with Dr. Susanne Dobler at the University of Hamburg in Germany. The main goal of her research stay is to analyze the genes associated with metabolism and detoxification of milkweed longhorn beetles. This is part of Nayeli's doctoral project, which aims to understand the mechanisms that beetles use to overcome the toxicity of their host plants. The knowledge of such mechanisms is currently absent for these beetles, and limited to charismatic species, as the Monarch butterfly and the large milkweed bug.
