September 23, 2004
The NIDCD is pleased to announce that 3 NIDCD-funded members of the
communication sciences community were awarded the prestigious Presidential
Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) for 2003. The
NIH is participating with other Federal Agencies and Departments in the
PECASE Program. This annual award recognizes outstanding young scientists
who exhibit exceptional leadership qualities and research expertise early
in their careers.
| Matthew I. Banks, Ph.D. Dr. Banks is the Assistant
Professor of the Department of Anesthesiology and Physiology at the
University of Wisconsin-Madison. Dr. Banks is recognized for his outstanding
contributions in the field of auditory neuroscience, using an integrative
approach to the study of the central nervous system by merging cutting-edge

Steven Dunn Munger, Ph.D. Dr. Munger is the Assistant Professor
of the Department of Anatomy & Neurobiology at the University
of Maryland School of Medicine. Dr. Munger is recognized for his
outstanding accomplishments in the field of taste molecular biology,
including new insights into how the structural binding of a class
of taste receptors to sweet-tasting compounds determines selectivity
and sensitivity, important factors in food intake and in the maintenance
of a balanced and nutritious diet. He received his Ph.D. through
the Whitney Laboratory and the Department of Neuroscience at the
University of Florida under the mentorship of Barry W. Ache and
Barbara-Anne Battelle. He joined the faculty of the University of
Maryland School of Medicine in the Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology
in 2000 and is a member of the Program in Neuroscience, the Training
Program in Functional Genomics and Molecular Medicine, and the Integrative
Membrane Biology Training Program. Read
