OUR MEMBERS

NR IMPACT is currently co-chaired by co-founders Drs. Becca Riggins and Matt Sikora, with Drs. Sean Fanning and Lindsey Treviño. Co-founder Dr. Zeynep Madak-Erdogan serves as an "emeritus" co-chair, and is leading the planning for IMPACT24 along with Drs. Sayee Anakk and Erik Nelson. NR IMPACT leadership opportunities and potential changes are discussed annually at the close of the regular seminar series.

NR IMPACT fellows are recruited on an annual basis, based on demonstrated dedication to nuclear receptor-based research programs and potential to expand the expertise, research footprint, and diversity of the group. There is currently no formal application process, but interested parties should contact NR IMPACT leadership.
