She has secured multiple National Institutes of Health awards, including several R01 grants and an R21 grant. For her pioneering work, Colloca has been named the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) 2024 Founders Week Researcher of the Year.Learn more: https://www.umaryland.edu/founders/founders-week-award-winners/researcher-of-the-year/
