A UNC pharmacology researcher will receive the highest award from the U.S. government for early career scientists and engineers next month.
Thomas L. Kash, assistant professor in the department of pharmacology and the UNC Bowles Center for Alcohol Studies, will be awarded the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers.
Kash will be recognized for the promise he has demonstrated as a scientist and his research program on the effects of alcohol on neural circuits in the brain.
The award was given to 94 researchers and will be presented at the White House in October, along with a monetary grant to continue research.
