                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. PETE OLSON

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, July 28, 2017

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Ijezie 
Ikwuezunma of Richmond, TX, for receiving a Fulbright award to do 
research in the UK.
  Ijezie, a student at Washington and Lee University, was awarded a 
Fulbright grant for his project, ``Cardiovascular Pharmacogenomics and 
Pharmacokinetics of Warfarin (an oral anti-coagulant).'' His research 
will be based around cardiovascular agents and their pharmacology, with 
a particular focus on the drug warfarin. While completing his 
Fulbright, Ijezie will also be pursuing his Masters of Research in 
biomedical sciences and transnational medicine at the University of 
Liverpool. Each year the Fulbright Program grants students the 
opportunity to study, research or teach English abroad in an effort to 
internationalize communities and campuses around the world. Fulbright 
scholars focus on the conditions and challenges differing regions face, 
as well as building valuable US relationships.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations again to Ijezie for receiving this Fulbright award. 
Keep up the great work.
