The Joseph S. Pagano Award annually recognizes notable cancer-related papers authored by UNC Lineberger postdoctoral fellows. Winners are selected through a competitive process and are honored for their authorship of articles in high-impact journals. The Pagano Award was established in 2002 to annually recognize noteworthy papers authored by our postdoctoral fellows. Authors of the three top papers receive a cash prize and potentially give a featured talk at a future UNC Lineberger event.
Congrats to Jun Wang PhD of the Department of Biochemistry & Biophysics and Greg Wang lab!
