NC faculty named fellows

Posted on January 2, 2010 by Staff

Three UNC faculty members have been named fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The association elects fellows to recognize their scientifically or socially distinguished efforts to advance science or its applications. The three new fellows are pharmacologist Klaus Hahn and biologists Joseph Kieber and Mark A. Peifer.

Hahn, the Ronald Thurman Distinguished Professor of Pharmacology in the School of Medicine, a professor of medicinal chemistry and natural products in the Eshelman School of Pharmacy and a member of the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, was recognized for his contributions in cell biology.

Kieber, a professor of biology in the College of Arts and Sciences, was recognized for his contributions to plant hormone biology.

Peifer, the Hooker Distinguished Professor of Biology in the College of Arts and Sciences and a member of the Lineberger Center, was recognized for his contributions to the understanding of interactions between cells and of cell signaling.

The three are among 531 scientists who received the honor this year. New fellows will be honored in February at the association’s 2010 annual meeting in San Diego.
