Naomi Ginsberg, a faculty scientist in the Molecular Biophysics and Integrated Bioimaging (MBIB) Division, is among the 2021 class of Fellows elected by the American Physical Society (APS). The APS Fellowship Program recognizes members who have made exceptional contributions to the physics enterprise in research, applications, leadership, service, or education. Ginsberg, who is also a UC Berkeley associate professor of chemistry, was cited for her innovative development of spatiotemporally resolved imaging and spectroscopy methods—as well as their applications in elucidating energy transport in hierarchical and heterogeneous materials and in the formation and transformation of said materials.
Cell ‘Fingerprinting’ Could Yield Alzheimer Disease Diagnostic
A technology developed by Cynthia McMurray, a senior scientist in the Molecular Biophysics and Integrated Bioimaging Division, and her team shows great promise for diagnosing Alzheimer disease before symptoms arise. This disease affects millions of people worldwide and is estimated to be the sixth leading cause of death in the United States.

Markita Landry Awarded Vilcek Prize
The Vilcek Foundation has honored Markita del Carpio Landry, faculty scientist in Molecular Biophysics and Integrated Bioimaging and assistant professor at UC Berkeley, with the 2022 Vilcek Prize for Creative Promise in Biomedical Science. Landry’s work centers on understanding aberrations in neurotransmitter signaling—a fundamental component in psychiatric disorders such as depression, and schizophrenia, and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer disease. She has also led work that has elucidated transport phenomena in plants, which has applications in agricultural biotechnology with regard to the development of food and medicine.
