Holly Shepherd, Student Services Manager, was awarded a School of Medicine pilot grant that covered her expenses at the National Association for College Admission Counseling conference.

Vital Signs: Jenny Ting, PhD, Kenan Distinguished Prof. of Genetics, Brenda Temple, PhD, Professor in the UNC Department of Biochemistry & Biophysics, and Jason Franz, PhD, and Devin Hubbard, PhD, both in the UNC-NCSU Joint Department of BME, were among 25 UNC-CH faculty members & TAs honored with 2022 University Teaching Awards.

This research, led by Jean Cook, PhD, and Liu Mei, PhD, at the UNC School of Medicine, may help explain why certain parts of the genome become highly mutable in some cancers.

We would like to share an update regarding the chair search process. The UNC School of Medicine leadership has invited 4 finalists to come for an on-campus/in-person visit in January and February. Watch your emails for details.
