Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and Biophysics

Congratulations to Dr. Claudia Schmidt-Dannert for receiving the Distinguished McKnight University Professorship. This Professorship recognizes her accomplishments in all facets of academic life: her research activities, her teaching and her service to the unit, College and University.

Congratulations to Peder Cedervall, Martin Gustavsson and Ava Yun Lin for receiving the 2012 Milne and Brandenburg Award which reconizes outstanding research by graduate students in the basic biomedical sciences from the medical school. Register

David D. Thomas (William F. Dietrich Professor), received a MERIT (Method to Extend Research In Time) award from the National Institute of Aging for his proposal, “Site-Directed Oxidative Modification of Muscle Protein Structural Dynamics.” Instead of the standard five-year award, this grant will be renewed for 10 years. This is the highest award an investigator can receive based on a R01 research grant. Thomas received a previous NIH MERIT award from 1993-2003 for “Molecular Dynamics of Muscle Contraction.”
