Dear colleagues,

Progress in medicine depends on curiosity, the courage to ask new questions, and the persistence to pursue the answers. Today, we celebrate the researchers and innovators whose discoveries are transforming care, deepening understanding, and improving human health.

 

From the MilliPub Club to the Emory 1% Awards, your discoveries, innovations, and ability to attract external funding embody the excellence that defines academic medicine. Through the Excellence in Research, Innovation for Impact, and Scientific Integrity awards, we celebrate not only the outcomes of discovery but also the commitment, creativity, and integrity that make it possible. 

 

Your work redefines what’s achievable for our patients, communities, and future generations. Thank you for advancing knowledge and for ensuring that curiosity remains at the heart of the Emory School of Medicine. 

 

With appreciation,

Sandra
