Abel, Heistad and Faraci named CCOM Impact Scholars

Ted Abel, Ph.D., Professor and Chair of the Department of Neuroscience and Pharmacology, and Donald Heistad, M.D. and Frank Faraci, Ph.D., Professors of Internal Medicine and Neuroscience and Pharmacology, were among a group of forty-six faculty included in the UI Roy J. and Lucille A. Carver College of Medicine’s inaugural group of Impact Scholars - researchers deemed to have made a major scientific impact over the course of their careers. Impact Scholars are selected based on the Hirsch index, also known as the h-index, which represents the number of research papers a faculty member has published, and the papers’ impact as gauged by how many times they have been cited by other scientists and scholars in subsequent research articles. For example, a researcher with an h-index of 50 has published at least 50 articles that each have been cited at least 50 times.

We congratulate Drs. Abel, Heistad and Faraci on achieving this recognition of their tremendous scholarly impact!
