Eight Researchers Named Fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science
March 25, 2026
Rutgers faculty elected to the newest class of fellows by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) have made significant strides in the treatment, diagnosis, and understanding of some of the most pressing health challenges of our time.
They have worked to reverse the nerve damage caused by multiple sclerosis, paved the way for new therapies and tests to diagnose asthma, applied statistics to solve some of humankind’s most intractable health problems, established new scientific fields and built a deeper understanding of the signals that help our bodies function.
In addition to their research, the fellows were recognized for their leadership roles, academic administration and service to the public. For many researchers, their accomplishments go beyond science and include their roles in mentoring the next generation of innovators.
