COMMITTEE ON CELL PHYSIOLOGYFaculty and Research |
The
overall quality of
our
faculty is
reflected by its representation on editorial boards of numerous
journals
and on NIH review groups. Fifteen members of our faculty are either
editors
or on the editorial board of journals such as Science, Journal of
Biological
Chemistry, Physiological Reviews, American Journal of Physiology,
Journal
of Neuroscience, Molecular Pharmacology, Circulation Research, Handbook
of Physiology, Endocrinology, Journal of Cellular Physiology, American
Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine and
Journal of
Clinical Investigation. Fifteen
members of our faculty are either
presently
serving or have served in the past as members of NIH study sections.
Members
of our faculty have awards which include the American Diabetes Research
and Development award, NIH career development awards, American Heart
Established
Investigator awards, Sloan Fellow, Klingenstein Fellow, McKnight
Fellow,
Fulbright scholar, Award of Merit of the American Heart Association,
John
Jacob Abel Award, Merit Awards from NIH and a Fellow of the Royal
Society
of London.
