[Ann Arbor, Michigan] – The College of Pharmacy is proud to announce that Kathleen Stringer, Albert B. Prescott Collegiate Professor of Clinical and Translational Pharmacy, has been awarded the 2025 Marc Peters Golden Research Education Award from Michigan Medicine’s Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine. 

This award recognizes an educator involved in the Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Fellowship program who demonstrates outstanding research training and a deep care for mentorship. The award is named after Dr. Marc Peters-Golden, a Professor of Internal Medicine and former director of the fellowship program. 

“Dr. Peters-Goldman is an extraordinary educator and pulmonologist,” explained Stringer. “I’ve known him my entire career at U-M, and he’s a great teacher and scientist, so receiving this award is so personal to me.”

Dr. Stringer is a mentor and collaborator for the fellowship program, helping train the next generation of medical researchers by sharing her perspective on therapeutics in pulmonary critical care research. “It’s an honor and a privilege to be a mentor to these doctors. Supporting the next generation of researchers is one of the best parts of my job,” said Stringer. 

Her research focuses primarily on tackling critical illnesses, like sepsis – which currently has no targeted therapies but impacts 1.7 million American adults each year. 

“Dr. Stringer’s deep understanding of therapeutics in pulmonology, mixed with her deep care for mentoring, makes her not only the perfect candidate for this award, but an invaluable member of our faculty,” said Dr. Amit Pai, Chair of the Department of Clinical Pharmacy in the U-M College of Pharmacy. 

This award was presented at the Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Fellowship’s end-of-year ceremony in June by Dr. Stringer’s close collaborator, Dr. Robert Dickson.
