Slepian wins Innovation and Entrepreneurship Award

BME Regents Professor Marvin Slepian was one of multiple University of Arizona staff celebrated at the annual Distinguished Faculty Awards. The event honored 27 faculty members for their service to students, colleagues, communities and the university's mission and land-grant values.

Slepian, who also serves as director of the Arizona Center for Accelerated Biomedical Innovation, won the University Distinguished Innovation and Entrepreneurship Award. 

"Teaching, research, service, outreach, and mentorship form the foundation of the faculty work we honor," said Ronald Marx, interim senior vice president for academic affairs and provost. "In recognizing these efforts, we celebrate not only individual accomplishments but also a collective commitment to academic excellence and student success."
