Three pre-eminent researchers – Thomas F. Gallagher, Patrice G. Guyenet and Kodi S. Ravichandran – have been chosen to receive 2010-11 Distinguished Scientist Awards from the University of Virginia.

This award from the Office of the Vice President for Research (VPR) was founded in 2006, and recognizes faculty from the basic, medical, or engineering sciences who have distinguished UVa through a significant body of research conducted here, as judged by publications, awards and peer reviews, and have made a major impact upon a field of study, both nationally and internationally. The award consists of a $10,000 contribution to the recipient’s laboratory for enhancement of its research activities.
