Dr. Karl Lechtreck has been named a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)—one of the nation’s oldest and most prestigious organizations dedicated to promoting science and engineering.

This outstanding recognition honors Karl’s pioneering work on ciliopathies, a group of disorders linked to conditions such as infertility, kidney disease, and obesity. His research has significantly advanced our understanding of ciliary structure and function and continues to have broad impact across cell biology and human health.

Congratulations on a well-deserved and exciting achievement!
