Daniel Liebler, Ph.D., Ingram Professor of Cancer Research, professor of Biochemistry, and director of the Ayers Institute for Precancer Detection and Diagnosis, has been selected as one of 96 fellows of the American Chemical Society (ACS), the world’s largest scientific society.
Ned Porter, Ph.D., Stevenson Professor of Chemistry, was also selected in this year’s group of fellows.
ACS fellows, who will be honored at the ACS National Meeting in Indianapolis on Sept. 9, are nominated by their peers and selected for their outstanding achievements in and contributions to the sciences/profession and for providing excellent volunteer service to the ACS community.
