Greg G. Wang, PhD, associate professor at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine and member of the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, has received the 2022 ASBMB Young Investigator Award, which recognizes outstanding research contributions to biochemistry and molecular biology and contributions to the community of scientists. Wang’s lab studies how chromatin modification and epigenetic modifications contribute to gene regulation and cancer development.

The ASBMB Young Investigator Award (formerly the ASBMB/Schering–Plough Research Institute Award) recognizes outstanding research contributions to biochemistry and molecular biology. The recipient must have no more than 15 years postdoctoral experience. Nominations must be originated by society members, but nominees need not be ASBMB members.

The award consists of a plaque, $5,000, and transportation and expenses to present a lecture at the ASBMB annual meeting.
