Neville Forlemu said he’s always wanted to have an impact in medicine.

But the UND chemistry graduate student said that becoming a doctor wasn’t really an option he considered as an undergraduate in Cameroon, Africa.

Instead, he pursued a degree in biochemistry, where his research of very small particles could make a huge difference in future drug development, Forlemu said.

Forlemu’s ambitions just received a huge boost.

He is among 38 scholars nationwide to be awarded a UNCF-Merck Science Initiative Award, from the pharmaceutical company Merck, Inc., and the United Negro College Fund.

Forlemu will receive as much as $52,000 to pursue his research.

The award allows Forlemu to focus on his research, gives him more tools to use in the research and opens a wide door for him to have access to others in his field — connecting him to others who have received the award in the past and to those who are working in the profession.
