External Advisory Committee

We are fortunate that four eminent biomedical researchers, all of them leaders in cell biology, are serving on our External Advisory Committee (EAC). The members of our EAC typically meet each year in April for a site visit at the University of Nevada, Reno. These highly accomplished scientists are:
