Check out this video from North Carolina A&T State University in Greensboro, North Carolina! A&T's Dr. Yeoheung Yun received the 2022 Max Gardner Award from the UNC System.
The creator of a mini-brain model used to study Alzheimer’s disease is the winner of the 2022 O. Max Gardner Award, the most prestigious annual prize for faculty awarded by the 17-campus University of North Carolina System.
Yeoheung Yun, Ph.D., the first faculty member in N.C. A&T's bioengineering program when it was created in 2010, received the honor in person as the first order of business at the UNC System Board of Governors’ 2022 May meeting.
Before the award, the BOG played a brief video produced by PBS NC in which colleagues and students shared their thoughts about the researcher, saying he has made significant contributions to “understanding brain development and how circuits are formed.”
