Michele Hayward is Wednesday’s Hometown Hero.

Michele is a research coordinator at UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center.  She works closely with their UNCseq program.

She’s a leader and provides a human component to their work.  She brings scientists and physicians together, which can be like herding cats according to Neil Hayes.  Michele can also be a shoulder for people to cry on.

You can nominate your own Hometown Hero.  WCHL has honored local members of our community everyday since 2002.
