Congratulations to Dr. Xuejun Wang!
He received the Carl J. Wiggers Award from the American Physiological Society (APS) during the American Physiological Summit held in Minneapolis, MN, earlier this month (April 23-26, 2026). As this year's awardee, he gave the Invited Wiggers Lecture entitled "Cardiac Protein Quality Control and Proteotoxicity" at the Summit on April 25.
"The Carl J. Wiggers award is presented to a scientist who is a Fellow of the APS CV Section and has made outstanding contributions to cardiovascular research throughout their career, has been an active and committed member of the section, and who will attract outstanding new members to the section from the U.S. and abroad."
"The Carl J. Wiggers Award honors the American Physiological Society (APS) Cardiovascular (CV) Section's founder Carl J. Wiggers, MD, whose research defined fundamental pressure-flow relationships in the cardiovascular system. In addition to publishing definitive texts in circulatory physiology, Wiggers founded the journal Circulation Research and trained numerous future department heads and several APS presidents. "
