Three scientists affiliated with the Molecular Biophysics & Integrated Bioimaging Division – Robert Glaeser, Krishna Niyogi, and Susan Marqusee – were among four Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab)-affiliated researchers elected as members to the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) this week. The election to the NAS recognizes their distinguished and continuing achievements in original research.
JBEI Highlights Commercialization Success on Capitol Hill
The three U.S. Department of Energy-funded bioenergy research centers (BRCs) – the Joint BioEnergy Institute, the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center, and the BioEnergy Science Center provided a briefing on Capitol Hill highlighting their intellectual property outputs. The briefing was followed by a celebration of their research successes, including their 500th invention disclosure which was reported last month.
Congressional members and staff had the opportunity to meet the scientists from the BRCs and industry partners to learn about research advancements in the production of fuels and chemicals from cellulosic biomass, and the collaborations that are bringing these technologies to the market.
Biosciences Co-Hosts STEM Career Awareness Day
Several Biosciences researchers and staff participated in the 2016 East Bay STEM Career Awareness Day on April 27 along with other neighboring East Bay-based businesses, organizations, and professionals. Together, they co-hosted nearly three hundred East Bay high school students from four school districts – Berkeley, Emeryville, Oakland, and Richmond – who took part in this one-day career exploration event at which they were introduced to careers in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). The event took place at Wareham Development’s Aquatic Park Center in West Berkeley, home to the Biosciences Aquatic Park Operations Center and several Biosciences research activities.
Bioenergy Technologies Office’s Director Refers To ABPDU’s Achievement
The Advanced Biofuels and Bioproducts Process Demonstration Unit (ABPDU) is mentioned in an article by Jonathan Male, Director of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) on the integration of the production of biofuels and bioproducts. Male referred to pre-pilot-scale production of malonic acid from pure non-food sugar as a model for cellulosic sugars by industrial biotechnology company Lygos Inc., which was successfully achieved at the ABPDU.
