“The Pinn Scholars program, which started last year, is an initiative born from strategic planning to support and recognize our mid-level faculty. Pinn Scholars are selected on the basis of their scientific expertise and contributions to the School of Medicine and to the greater research community. Pinn Scholars are expected to develop a new project or direction in their research and share their results at the annual symposium.”
Last year, CMCP faculty members Brant Isakson and Jochen Zimmer received this award in its inaugural year. This award is named in honor of Dr. Vivian Pinn, a highly distinguished graduate of the UVA School of Medicine Class of 1967.
