The Bethel Musculoskeletal Research Center (BMRC) is thrilled to congratulate Dr. Ines Lohse, co-director of the Musculoskeletal Oncology Lab, on receiving the Distinguished Research Mentor Award at this year’s Institute for Clinical Research Education (ICRE) Commencement Ceremony.

Dr. Lohse was honored not once, but twice during the ceremony—first, as a graduate of the prestigious Mother’s Leading Science program, and second, for her exceptional mentorship in research. The Distinguished Research Mentor Award is a recognition bestowed upon faculty who demonstrate an extraordinary commitment to guiding and inspiring the next generation of researchers.

“It is an honor to be nominated by students for this award and to make an impact on their lives and careers. Mentoring students is very important to me, and to see it acknowledged is very rewarding. I benefited from the advice of amazing mentors throughout my life, and I hope to make a similar impact on the lives of my students,” Dr. Lohse said.

This summer, Dr. Lohse will continue that mission with five students joining her lab through the Hillman Academy and the BMRC’s summer research programs. With three current mentees heading off to medical school and new students entering the lab, she continues to build a dynamic and supportive environment for young scientists.

The BMRC is incredibly proud of Dr. Lohse’s accomplishments. Supporting and mentoring young, early-career researchers is central to our mission, and Dr. Lohse’s dedication embodies that vision. Her work ensures that the future of MSK research is in talented and capable hands.

Congratulations, Dr. Lohse!
