2017 STAT Wunderkind

Alumnus Daniel E. Webster, Ph.D., recognized as a “2017 STAT Wunderkind”.  He was in Dr. Paul Khavari Lab and is currently a Damon Runyon Fellow at the National Cancer Institute working with Dr. Louis Staudt on B cell lymphoma genomics. 

The Landers, Doudnas, and Bradners of the world grab plenty of headlines. So we set out to find the next generation of scientific superstars. Over the past several months, a team of STAT editors and reporters pored through nearly 300 nominations from across North America. We didn’t set an age limit; we were on the hunt for the most impressive doctors and researchers on the cusp of launching their careers but not yet fully independent. Most were postdocs, fellows, and biopharma employees working with more senior scientists. All are blazing new trails as they attempt to answer some of the biggest questions in medicine. Meet the 2017 STAT Wunderkinds.
