Pannier Earns Presidential Early Career Award
Nebraska Ag Connection - 07/11/2019
University of Nebraska-Lincoln researcher Angie Pannier has received the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers.
The award is the highest honor presented by the United States government to scientists and engineers who are in the beginning stages of their research careers. It is reserved for individuals who show exceptional promise for leadership in science and technology
fields.
Pannier, a professor of biological systems engineering, was nominated for the award by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Her research lab is developing more than 10 projects related to biomaterials and gene delivery systems. Key research
areas include DNA vaccines, tissue engineering of developmental biology, and non-viral gene delivery systems for stem cell and medical device applications.
Pannier recently discussed her career and research with Chancellor Ronnie Green in the university's Faculty 101 podcast. She also received a 2017 National Institutes of Health Director's New Innovator Award to develop novel methods that improve use of
adult stem cells in gene therapy, a promising tool for treating a variety of diseases.
Established in 1996, the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers honors the contributions researchers have made to STEM education and community service. Awards are based on scientific leadership, public education and community
outreach.
