Dr. Gordon Carmichael Selected as 2010 Osborn Biomedical Science Graduate Teaching Award Recipient by Ph.D. Graduate Students

Dr. Gordon Carmichael, Professor of Genetics and Developmental Biology, has been selected as the 2010 recipient of the Osborn Biomedical Science Graduate Teaching Award. The Basic Science Chairs established the Osborn Award for Excellence in Graduate Teaching in Biomedical Science in 2005. This award honors the many important contributions to graduate education by Dr. Mary Jane Osborn, past Chair of the Department of Microbiology, member of the National Academy of Sciences, and currently Professor Emeritus at the Health Center. The intention of this award is to recognize a UCHC Graduate School faculty member for his/her commitment to providing the best education in the classroom and training in the laboratory.
