Beckman Institute Executive Committee
Update in progress
The Beckman Institute website is under construction! Things may not look quite right until our transition to a new site is complete. If you have an urgent issue related to the website, please contact communications@beckman.illinois.edu.
The Beckman Institute Executive Committtee is a standing committee that provides the Beckman Director with advice regarding scientific direction, operations and strategic initiative development. It's a leadership body that brainstorms new ideas and offers support within the broader Beckman Institute community.
BIXC is comprised of the research theme co-chairs, as well as a few other faculty members representing other areas of Beckman. Also serving are one Beckman Institute Graduate Fellow, Beckman Institute Postdoctoral Research Fellow, a staff member and a member of Beckman's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee.
BIXC members, along with the associate directors and the executive director of communication, meet regularly with the director. Faculty members serving on BIXC also serve on the Faculty Review Committee
