September 19, 2024

Nancy Dahms, PhD, Emeritus Professor in the Department of Biochemistry, was chosen by MCW as one of the three individuals to receive the 2024 Distinguished Service Award. The Distinguished Service Award is MCW's highest faculty and staff honor, and pays tribute to current or former faculty and staff who have significantly contributed to the 皇家华人. Dr. Dahms was chosen to receive this award due to her remarkable career at MCW in research, leadership, mentorship, and stewardship of the institution since 1986. Dr. Dahms has had over 30 years of NIH funding for her research, and was President of the Society for Glycobiology. She has been a leader in MCW's educational endeavors, serving as course director of Molecules to Cells, President of Faculty Council, and recipient of numerous teaching and research awards. She has been a pioneer and advocate for women in research, interim chair of the Department of Biochemistry, and her mentorship has translated across the institution. Her community outreach through mentorship of high school SMART teams has made an impact on many students interested in science, and her graduate students are doing great work in science and research.

Dr. Dahms will be honored for her achievements at MCW’s Faculty Awards and Honors Celebration on September 26. Congratulations Dr. Dahms on a well-deserved and well-earned honor!
