Yining Zhu Wins the Hans J. Prochaska Research Award


The 2024 JHSOM Young Investigator Awards are announced! Our Yining Zhu received The Hans J. Prochaska Research Award!

Young Investigators’ Day was established in 1978 to recognize young investigators who are training at the School of Medicine and to provide them with a forum for presentation of their work. The awards recognize research undertaken by applicants while registered as students or postdoctoral fellows at the school of medicine.

The Hans Joaquim Prochaska Research Award was established in 1998 by his mentor and friend Paul Talalay to honor the excellence that Dr. Prochaska exemplified, and the distinction he brought to the Hopkins M.D.-Ph.D. program. This award is given annually to a student in the School of Medicine who has made an outstanding discovery with preference given to an M.D.-Ph.D. candidate.

Young Investigators’ Day will be held April 17 at 3 p.m. in the Mountcastle Auditorium in the Preclinical Teaching Building, 725 N. Wolfe St. The efforts of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine’s best and brightest young investigators will be shared. Yining will be presenting a poster on the Young Investigators’ Day.

Congratulations, Yining!
