Assistant Professors Corey Allard and Rachel Wolfson are recipients of 2026 Klingenstein Fellowship Award in Neuroscience. Corey received the award for the project, "Neural Control of Foreign Organelles." Rachel received the award for the project, "Mapping Peripheral and Central Cardiac Pain Circuits."
The Klingenstein Fellowship Awards in Neuroscience supports early career investigators engaged in basic or clinical research that may lead to a better understanding of neurological and psychiatric disorders. The fellowship awards promote high-risk, and potentially high-reward, projects. Aimed at advancing cutting-edge investigations, the awards are presented to highly promising, early career scientists. At this critical juncture in their careers, funding can be a challenge.
