Distinguished Senior Faculty Award for Research

The Academic Senate has selected Dr. Palczewski to receive the 2023-2024 Distinguished Senior Faculty Award for Research. The recipients of the Distinguished Senior Faculty Award for Research  must be members of the Academic Senate at the rank of Professor VI or above when nominated, who have made a significant contribution through research that has had a major influence on the discipline, either through a career-long record of contributions, or through an influential/germinal contribution. Dr. Palczewski's compelling and groundbreaking work in advancing our understanding of the retina, especially with respect to phototransduction in the retina, has brought great credit to the university. Congratulations!
