Ke Xu Awarded 2016 Packard Fellowship for Science and Engineering
Ke Xu, chemist faculty scientist in the Molecular Biophysics & Integrated Bioimaging Division, is a recipient of a 2016 Packard Fellowship for Science and Engineering. He was awarded $875K over five years for the development of tools to interrogate biological, chemical, and materials systems at the nanoscale with extraordinary resolution and sensitivity.
The David and Lucile Packard Foundation named 18 of the nation’s most innovative early-career scientists and engineers as recipients of the 2016 fellowships. The foundation established the fellowships program in 1988 to provide early-career scientists with flexible funding and the freedom to take risks and explore new frontiers in their fields.
Bioscientists Named American Association for the Advancement of Science Fellows
Two members of the Biosciences Area, Eleanor A. Blakely and Krishna K. Niyogi, were among the five Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory-affiliated researchers elected as Fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) this week. This honor is bestowed for distinguished and continuing achievements in advancing science to serve society.
ASCB Award Essays by Mina Bissell and Eva Nogales Offer Insights in Personal Journeys
In two American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) award essays published in the society’s journal Molecular Biology of the Cell, Mina Bissell, distinguished scientist in the Biological Systems & Engineering Division, and Eva Nogales, faculty structural biologist in the Molecular Biologist in the Molecular Biophysics & Integrated Bioimaging Division, each candidly describe their inspiring, personal journeys.
Biosciences Technology Recognized with R&D 100 Award
The Compact Dynamic Beamstop (CDBS), a compact, customizable tool for X-ray scattering experiments providing real-time data, developed by Diane Bryant and Simon Morton of the Molecular Biophysics & Integrated Bioimaging Division, has been recognized with a 2016 R&D 100 Award. It was one of 100 technologies and services introduced last year deemed most significant by an independent panel of judges.
R&D Magazine‘s R&D 100 Awards, established 54 years ago, presented this year’s awards at the November 3 annual black-tie awards dinner in Washington, D.C. Four other technologies developed by researchers at Berkeley Lab were among the awardees, including enabling energy-saving cool roofs, long-lived lithium-sulfur batteries, safer drinking water, and reduced carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
