�������� has named a new class of Chancellor’s Fellows — faculty members who will carry the chancellor’s imprimatur for five years in recognition of their outstanding work in academia.

“These 12 newest fellows represent our university at its very best,” Chancellor Gary S. May said. “They are now part of a proud 22-year history for the Chancellor’s Fellows program. These fellows are making advances that help solve complex and critical issues, while also helping our students become critical thinkers and problem-solvers.”

�������� has designated 178 Chancellor’s Fellows since 2000. For all that time, the �������� Annual Fund, Davis Chancellor’s Club and the �������� Parents Fund have provided unrestricted philanthropic support to each of the fellows for research or other scholarly work.

“We are so grateful for donor support of the Chancellor’s Fellows,” said Shaun Keister, vice chancellor of Development and Alumni Relations. “This program gives our faculty the resources to conduct innovative research that helps �������� make even greater contributions to the world.”

The 2021-22 Chancellor’s Fellows, each of whom has been awarded $25,000, are listed here with their department or school in parentheses: John Albeck (molecular and cellular biology), Ching-Hsien Chen (internal medicine), Gerardo Con Diaz (science and technology studies), Carrie Finno (veterinary medicine), Evgeny “Eugene” Gorskiy (mathematics), Michele La Merrill (environmental toxicology), Marina S.
