Iowa State University's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (LAS) has honored 25 faculty and staff with awards for their accomplishments.

Among the recipients is Yeon-Kyun Shin, professor of biochemistry, biophysics and molecular biology, who was awarded the LAS Excellence in Research/Artistic Creativity Award.

The recipients will be formally recognized in the fall during the LAS Faculty/Staff Convocation on Wednesday, Sept. 5.

Shin's research has received critical acclaim both nationally and internationally. Since joining Iowa State in 2000, he has established a research program of the highest quality that is currently supported by two National Institute of Health grants. His research focus includes exploring the structure of the neuronal SNARE complex.
