Cheng-Chi Lee, Ph.D., Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, was one of only 13 recipients nationwide to receive an NIH Pioneer Award. This prestigious $2.5 million 5-year award is designed to support exceptionally creative scientists who address major scientific questions using highly innovative approaches. Dr. Lee's research involves mechanisms for inducing suspended animation and metabolic changes in non-hibernating mammals. This technology for lowering the body's temperature promises to have widespread clinical application in treatment of many diseases and injuries.
