Kent Chapman, Regents Professor of biology and director of UNT's BioDiscovery Institute, has been named the 2020 laureate of the International Symposium on Plant Lipids' Terry Galliard Medal.
The award -- named in honor of Galliard, the organizer of the first ISPL in Norwich in 1974 -- is given to a scientist who contributes significantly to the field of plant lipid research. Additionally, Jantana Keereetaweep ('15 Ph.D.) was named the laureate of ISPL's Paul K. Stumpf award, presented to a promising early-career plant lipid researcher.
As part of their awards, Chapman and Keereetaweep have been invited to present a web-based lecture July 7.
