Dan Regan, an assistant professor in Microbiology, Immunology, and Pathology, was recently selected to receive the Boettcher Foundation’s 2020 Webb-Waring Biomedical Research Award.

The award supports promising early-career scientific investigators, allowi­ng them to establish their independent research and make it competitive for major federal and private grants. Recipients, known as Boettcher Investigators, are awarded $235,000 to sustain up to three years of biomedical research. Regan joins seven other recipients from five of Colorado’s top research institutions and is the 12^th scientist at Colorado State University to receive the award.

“I am grateful to the Boettcher Foundation for their commitment to biomedical research,” said Regan. “This award provides a fantastic opportunity to gain momentum and make an impact in my field.”
