Recent News

Congratulations to Enrico Di Cera, M.D., who was recently elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Each year, Fellows are elected by their peers in a two-step review process. Fellows are chosen based on their scientific accomplishments, pioneering research, and contributions to their field.

Enrico was elected due to his work on ligand binding and the structural enzymology of the proteins involved in blood coagulation. He will receive a certificate and gold and blue rosette pin (pictured right, below) at a ceremony at the AAAS Annual meeting in Seattle on February 15, 2020.
