Allbritton receives 2017 Edward Kidder Graham Award

Dr. Nancy Allbritton, Kenan Distinguished Professor and head of the UNC-NC State Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering was awarded the 2017 Edward Kidder Graham Award at the University of North Carolina Chapel-Hill’s University Day celebrations on Oct. 12, 2017.

Allbritton joined the NC State’s College of Engineering in 2009 as head of the biomedical engineering department. Her research interests include signaling in single cells, microfabricated systems for cellular analysis and organ on a chip technologies.

The Edward Kidder Graham Award was established in 2010 to recognize outstanding service by a member of the Faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The award, named for UNC Chapel-Hill’s tenth president, is given to those that “make the campus co-extensive with the boundaries of the State,” in the context of the University’s modern mission to extend knowledge-based service world-wide.

Allbritton received her B.S. in physics from Louisiana State University, her Ph.D. in medical physics/medical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and her M.D. from Johns Hopkins University.
