Dr. Nancy Bonini has been appointed the Lucille B. Williams Term Professor
 The Department of Biology is delighted to announce that Dr. Nancy Bonini, Professor of Biology, has been appointed the Lucille B. Williams Term Professor of Biology. Professor Bonini pioneered the use of Drosophila as a model system to study neurodegenerative diseases and has made seminal contributions to our understanding how expansion of polyglutamine tracts in specific proteins can lead to death of neurons.
This Chair was established by Paul C. Williams in honor of his stepmother. Mr. Williams is a member of the University Board of Trustees and the SAS Board of Overseers. He has a distinguished record of service to the School of Arts and Sciences, and is a longtime supporter of the Department of Biology.
