Three PSOM Faculty: Career Award for Medical Scientists

Three Perelman School of Medicine faculty members at the University of Pennsylvania have received 2018 Burroughs Wellcome Fund Career Awards for Medical Scientists. Elizabeth Joyce Bhoj, assistant professor of pediatrics, for research on “a novel pediatric neurodegenerative disorder caused by histone 3.3 mutations: unique insights into the histone code”; Sarah Emily Henrickson, instructor of pediatrics, for “directly interrogating mechanisms of human T cell dysfunction in the setting of chronic inflammation and atopy”; and Mark Sellmyer, assistant professor of radiology, for “engineering digital logic for cell-cell interactions.”

The Career Awards for Medical Scientists (CAMS) is a highly competitive program that provides $700,000 awards over five years to physician-scientists who are committed to an academic career, to bridge advanced postdoctoral/fellowship training and the early years of faculty service.
