Wang Wins NIH Award
Jue D. Wang, Ph.D., BCM Assistant Professor of Molecular and Human Genetics, has been selected as a winner of the 2008 NIH Director's Pioneer and New Innovator Awards. The award grant, which is $1.5 million over five years, enables recipients who are early in their careers to pursue exceptionally innovative approaches that could transform biomedical and behavioral science.
"These highly creative researchers are tackling important scientific challenges with bold ideas and inventive technologies that promise to break through barriers and radically shift our understanding," said NIH Director Elias Zerhouni, M.D.
Wang's research hopes to identify new ways that the cell controls how DNA is copied, which will give insights into many diseases.
