New Investigator Award Judging Panel: Erin E. Chambers

“I’m really proud to be part of the New Investigator Award. The industry needs to do more of this. We need to continue to recognize people early in their career, while shining a spotlight on great science no matter where people are in their career: early, mid, or late. There’s a lot of other great work out there that’s not getting recognized in the way it can or should.”
