Congratulations to faculty member Edward Miao for being named one of our new 44 named Distinguished Professors. Named Distinguished Professorships recognize Duke faculty scholars who have achieved national and international distinction by being among the most creative scholars in their field or in their ability to transcend disciplines.
Ed is now a Chancellor's Distinguished Professor of Immunology. Great work, Ed! So proud to have you among our faculty.
The honorees were formally recognized by President Vincent Price and Interim Provost Jennifer Francis during a ceremony at the Washington Duke Inn Thursday evening.
Distinguished Professorships recognize faculty scholars who are well-established members of the Duke academic community who have also achieved distinction as creative scholars in their field or in their ability to transcend disciplines.
Price noted the broad influence the awardees have had through their scholarship, by “shaping our understanding of the world, and advancing opportunities, solutions, and inventions to improve the human condition.”
