Congratulations to Yuntao Wu, assistant professor in the department of molecular and microbiology, who is named one of “Tomorrow’s PIs” in the current edition of Genome Technology magazine. He is cited for his HIV research, which seeks to prevent or slow down the progression of AIDS.

This is the second year Genome Technology has sought nominations for “rising young stars of science” — defined by the magazine as being in a faculty position less than five years — from their colleagues who already are recognized as today’s leading PIs. Wu was nominated by Emanuel Petricoin III, co-director of Mason’s Center for Applied Proteomics and Molecular Medicine.
