Jennifer Doudna, faculty biochemist in Molecular Biophysics & Integrated Bioimaging, and her work on the CRISPR/Cas 9 gene editing system, have been highlighted recently in both The New Yorker Magazine and on CBS This Morning. The coverage discusses the benefits and perils of this technology, which is the topic of an international meeting being held currently at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, DC.
Bissell Recipient of 2015 Ernst W. Bertner Memorial Award
Distinguished Scientist Mina Bissell of the Biological Systems & Engineering Division accepted the 2015 Ernst W. Bertner Memorial Award last month at the 58th Annual Symposium on Fundamental Cancer Research. The award is conferred annually on a physician or scientist who has made distinguished contributions to cancer research. Established in 1950 in honor of the first acting director of MD Anderson and first president of the Texas Medical Center, it is the oldest award conferred by The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

Bowen and Lee Recipients of 2015 R&D 100 Awards
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) has won seven 2015 R&D 100 awards. This year’s winners include two technologies developed by researchers in the Biosciences Area. Ben Bowen of the Environmental Genomics and Systems Biology Division and Oliver Rübel of the Computational Research Division led the development of OpenMSI, a new way to analyze and visualize mass spectrometry data. Seung-Wuk Lee of the Biological Systems and Engineering Division led the development of the Sensor Integrated with Recombinant and Engineered Nanophage (SIREN) platform. SIREN uses bio-nanofilms with tunable functionality to create portable devices for detecting small molecules of interest. Read more about these and the other five R&D 100 Awards won by Berkeley Lab at the News Center.
