Description
The American Physiological Society (APS) offers this lectureship to recognize an early-career, mid-career or established investigator whose research has made significant contributions to understanding muscle contraction and motility. Recognition is based on the significance of the nominee’s scientific contributions, as demonstrated through nomination materials. The recipient is invited to highlight their research and contributions in a featured lecture at the American Physiology Summit.
The lectureship connects recognition with scientific exchange through a Summit presentation and submission of a related research or review article for consideration in an APS journal. It is named for Marion J. Siegman, a world-renowned expert in smooth muscle physiology who has spent more than half a century as a researcher and educator at Sidney Kimmel Medical College.
