Agnew Recognized with Alumni Achievement Award

Heather D. Agnew, ’03 BMB and Chem, was honored with the 2012 Penn State Alumni Association's Alumni Achievement award for outstanding professional accomplishment. This award recognizes alumni 35 years of age and younger for their extraordinary professional accomplishments. Agnew was nominated by the dean of the Eberly College of Science and invited by the President of the University to return to campus to share her expertise with students, faculty, and administrators.

Agnew is principal research investigator at Integrated Diagnostics, a biotechnology startup company founded in 2009. She leads an aggressive program to develop protein-catalyzed capture agents (PCCs) which show promise for broad use in diagnostics and therapeutics. PCCs are selected for specific binding to biomarkers for detection of cancer and other diseases. PCCs are designed to ‘click’ onto the targeted protein in a synthetic and highly scalable process directed by the actual site targeted. She also holds an adjunct appointment in the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.
