NEBRASKA: NSF EPSCoR State Committee Member promoted to Vice Chancellor for Research
Longtime Nebraska NSF EPSCoR State Committee member Dr. Kenneth Bayles has been named as the next Vice Chancellor for Research at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.
A professor in the UNMC Department of Pathology and Microbiology, Dr. Bayles has been serving as the associate vice chancellor for basic science research at UNMC and as the associate vice chancellor for research and creative activity at the University of Nebraska at Omaha.
Dr. Bayles will assume the vice chancellor’s duties on Oct 1. He was selected after a nationwide search to replace Jennifer Larsen, MD, the Degen Professor of Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism at UNMC, who will step down from the vice chancellor’s role while continuing her research and faculty activities at UNMC.
