On Tuesday, April 5, 2016, the University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC) Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research announced seven Collaborative Research Network (CORNET) Awards to distinguished faculty of the Pharmaceutical Sciences Department. The purpose of the award is to stimulate innovative, interdisciplinary, team research that crosses UTHSC College boundaries, and will give rise to future external funding. The awards are designed to promote new lines of research and are not intended as bridging funds or a mechanism to extend ongoing funded research. Congratulations to Michio Kurosu/Isaac Donkor, Bob Moore, Wei Li, Francesco Giorgianni, and Tao Lowe. Extended congratulations to Bob Moore and Wei Li who both received two CORNET Awards. Award winners were chosen from over 40 applications. Pictured left to right: Isaac Donkor, Wei Li, Tao Lowe, Bob Moore; not pictured: Michio Kurosu, Francesco Giorgianni
