Strahl named 2006 recipient of Jefferson-Pilot Award
Dr. Brian Strahl, assistant professor of biochemistry and biophysics in the UNC School of Medicine, has been named a 2006 Jefferson-Pilot Fellow by the UNC School of Medicine. The annual award is given to promising junior faculty to explore new ideas in research, teaching or clinical treatment. The active term is four years and the recipient receives $20,000. Strahl's research focuses on chromatin biochemistry and gene regulation. Chromatin, a complex of nucleic acids and proteins, binds DNA into higher-order structures, ultimately forming a chromosome.
