Abdel-Monem Memorial Fellowship in Medicinal Chemistry at the University of Minnesota.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are proud to establish this new fellowship in memory of Dr. Monem, who worked closely with Zinpro co-founder Dean Anderson in the development of our first organic metal amino acid complex,\u201d said President and Chief Executive Officer Rob Sheffer.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDr. Monem was so much more than an innovative scientist and collaborative partner,\u201d said Mike Anderson, chairman of the Zinpro Board of Directors and Dean and Mary Anderson\u2019s son. \u201cTo the Anderson family and to all of us at Zinpro, he was also a dear friend and colleague. We are pleased to honor his memory on this day, the 52<sup>nd<\/sup> anniversary of Zinpro\u2019s founding.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Monem\u2019s discovery helped set Zinpro on the path to long-term success as a trusted leader in the global animal nutrition industry.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen Dr. Monem first developed the metal amino acid complex, it was new to the world,\u201d said Zinpro Research and Development leader Dr. Peter Stark, a former graduate student of Dr. Monem. \u201cNo one else was feeding animals organic trace minerals \u2013 only inorganic.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNow, 52 years and hundreds of peer-reviewed research studies later, we see that this discovery has truly changed the industry and impacted the lives of animals and people all over the world,\u201d said Sheffer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Inspiring a new generation of scientists<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grant Berkbigler, a first-year Ph.D. student pursuing a degree in Medicinal Chemistry at the University of Minnesota, is the inaugural recipient of the Dr. Monem memorial fellowship.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEver since I was in middle school, I have dreamed of improving the lives of millions of people. I fell in love with chemistry and biochemistry, leading me to pursue my Ph.D. in medicinal chemistry,\u201d said Berkbigler. \u201cMy lifelong goal is to become a professor with my own lab, become a leader in the field, and help train the next generation of medicinal chemists.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Berkbigler earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences with minors in German and Chemistry at The Ohio State University.
