Walid Redjem received a five-year, $588,285 CAREER award from the National Science Foundation to support his project, "Hybrid Continuous-Discrete Quantum State Generation and Measurement in Silicon Photonics." CAREER awards support early-career faculty who combine research with education and long-term scientific impact.

ChangHwan Lee received $1.86 million from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences to study how transcription misregulation drives diseases including cancer and infertility. The work will explore cellular mechanisms that regulate dynamic transcription with a special focus on the “Notch” signaling pathway, and how Notch-driven transcription shapes stem cell development.

Qiang Zhang received a $2 million, five-year Maximizing Investigators' Research Award renewal from the National Institutes of Health to support his project titled “The chemical approach towards homogenous glycoprotein preparation and evaluation.” The funding will enable him to continue his work examining novel strategies for synthesizing peptide and glycoprotein-based drugs.
