Edward Lee, MD, PhD, is one of the recipients of the 2016 ASCI Council Young Physician-Scientist Award by the American Society for Clinical Investigation (ASCI). The Young Physician-Scientist Awards, initiated in 2013, recognize young physician-scientists who are supported by NIH K awards or similar significant career-development awards, are early in their first faculty appointment, and have made notable achievements in their research.

On the basis of nominations by ASCI members of outstanding physician-scientists who have recently received their faculty appointment, the ASCI Meeting Committee selects up to 40 nominees each year. Dr. Lee will be recognized at this year's 2016 ASCI/AAP Joint Meeting on April 15, 2016, in Chicago.
