Mooney Among 5 Duke Faculty Elected to National Academy of Sciences
Two School of Medicine faculty were among four Duke faculty members elected to the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) on April 30 in recognition of their distinguished and continuing achievements in original research.
New NAS members with appointments in the School of Medicine were:
David Beratan, PhD, R.J. Reynolds Professor of Chemistry, professor of biochemistry, and professor of physics. Beratan is developing theoretical approaches to understand the function of complex molecular and macromolecular systems.
Richard Mooney, PhD, George Barth Geller Distinguished Professor for Research in Neurobiology and professor of cell biology. His broad research goal is to understand the neural mechanisms by which experience guides learning, behavior, and perception.
