Congratulations to Dr. Daniel Isom, Research Assistant Professor of Biochemistry & Biophysics, who is the recipient of the University Research Council’s 2012 James Moeser Award for Distinguished Research.
The University Research Council (URC) of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill administers small grant programs for faculty in two forms: research and publication awards. The maximum award amount is $5,000 and eligible faculty applicants are tenure or tenure-track, hold research or clinical appointments, adjunct, lecturers, or instructors. Dr. Daniel Isom is a Research Assistant Professor of Biochemistry & Biophysics who was awarded a URC Research grant to support his research project on G proteins. URC research grants are often considered a stepping stone to extramural support and Dr. Isom may use his award amount for costs such as collecting pilot data, research-related travel, and research equipment or supplies. In addition, Dr. Isom received a supplement of $5,000 with the URC James Moeser Award for Distinguished Research which makes his total award amount $10,000 for this project.
Dr. Isom is a member of the Henrik Dohman lab and his research is focused on how protein dynamics are regulated by cellular stress. To learn more about his work, please contact him at: daniel_isom@med.unc.edu.
