University of Pittsburgh Chancellor Patrick Gallagher recognized 15 faculty members — and one entire office — this year with Chancellor’s Distinguished Awards across three categories. McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine affiliated faculty member Cecelia Yates, PhD, associate professor in the Department of Health Promotion and Development, School of Nursing, was recognized in the Chancellor’s Distinguished Research Awards/Junior category for her research to understand the signaling networks that underlie pathologic fibrosis across multiple tissue and organ systems. Cited as a “rising star” in the field, Dr. Yates’ approach also includes developing therapeutics for diseases caused by this phenomenon.
Dr. Yates received a letter from Chancellor Gallagher along with a $2,000 cash prize and a $3,000 grant to support her work. She will be recognized at the Faculty Honors Convocation on April 1 at 3 p.m. in Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall.
Congratulations, Dr. Yates!
