\n<\/TABLE>“Never give up. Always have high level goals.”<\/p>\n

Those were words of advice from UNMC’s 2008 Scientist Laureate Howard Gendelman, M.D., to his colleagues Monday afternoon at the third annual Distinguished Scientist ceremony.<\/p>\n

Dr. Gendelman, professor and chairman of the department of pharmacology and experimental neuroscience, spoke at the event held in the Durham Research Center Auditorium.<\/p>\n

The event was held to honor Dr. Gendelman and 22 other UNMC researchers who were named Distinguished Scientists and New Investigators for 2008. <\/p>\n

“You should shoot for the stars, and if you hit the moon that’s OK,” Dr. Gendelman said. “But, always reach for what’s beyond your reach.”<\/p>\n

Dr. Gendelman is the third recipient of the Scientist Laureate award — the highest honor UNMC bestows on its investigators.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
