Ian Macara, PhD receives Distinguished Scientist Award "Macara is recognized as a scientific leader, both at U.Va. and beyond. He has been instrumental in acquiring state-of-the-art cellular imaging equipment for the Advanced Microscopy Facility, creating an invaluable resource for U.Va.'s scientists. In addition, he has over 165 publications, many of which appear in prestigious journals such as Cell, Science, and Nature. His citation index of 58 is extremely high, indicating the importance and regard his research has generated." "Ian Macara's research on nuclear protein transport and cellular polarity has shown how cells such as neurons or mammary cells organize information to form specific structures, and to orient within tissues," said Dr. Sharon L. Hostler, interim vice president and dean of the School of Medicine. "This has significant impact in understanding tissue development, and dysregulation of cell function in early tumor progression." |
