USD’s Xuejun Wang Receives Carl J. Wiggers Award
As this year's awardee, Wang gave the Invited Wiggers Lecture, titled "Cardiac Protein Quality Control and Proteotoxicity.”
The Carl J. Wiggers award is presented to a scientist who is a fellow of the APS Cardiovascular Section, has made outstanding contributions to cardiovascular research throughout their career, has been an active and committed member of the section, and will attract outstanding new members to the section from the U.S. and abroad.
“I truly appreciate this great national and international recognition from peers and former trainees,” said Wang. “But the award really honors the cutting-edge research works done mostly by many talented former trainees and collaborators, primarily at the highly supportive University of South Dakota."
