September 8, 2010
Felix Aikhionbare Ph.D., research assistant professor, Department of Medicine, was
recently named a recipient of the 2010 Minority Health and Health Disparities Charles
Barkley Excellence in Mentoring Awards. Aikhionbare was nominated by his mentee and
current MSM student, Gregory Adams, Jr.
The Minority Health and Health Disparities Research Center at the University of Alabama
Birmingham (UAB) recognizes faculty members from across the country who have provided
outstanding mentoring and have contributed substantially to the career development
and retention of students and scholars. “I had always said to myself that the act
of mentoring bears something in common with the act of learning,” said Aikhionbare.
The award will be formally presented on September 24th at the “Center Court with Sir
Charles” Gala on the campus of UAB.
