Tamir Gonen is the recipient of the 2024 Carl Brändén Award from The Protein Society. The award is presented for his exceptional contributions to education and the study of membrane proteins. Tamir Gonen has led the development of novel methods in structural biology, particularly MicroED, and trained thousands of biochemists and structural biologists around the world in the use of this powerful technique.
Callie Saeher is awarded a postdoctoral national research service award fellowship from the National Institutes of Health for her work on mTORC1 activation. The purpose of the fellowship is to train promising candidates to become productive, independent investigators in scientific health-related research fields.
Emma Danelius and Xuelang Mu have been selected to deliver keynote talks in the transactions symposium at this year’s annual meeting of the American Crystallographic Association. The meeting will be held in Baltimore, MD in July 2023.
Cody Gillman was awarded the Margaret C. Etter Student Lecturer Award by the American Crystallographic Association for his work on the Design and Implementation of Suspended Drop Crystallization.
Cody Gillman is one of five 2022 Audree Fowler fellows. The fellowship was awarded for his excellent work on determining the structure of a toxin‐antibody complex by MicroED.
Michael Martynowycz is the recipient of the 2022 Sidhu Award from the Pittsburgh Diffraction Society for the scientific impact of his work on methods development and his dedication to advancing the field of crystallography through MicroED. The award, in memory of Professor Surhain S. Sidhu, honors significant contributions to the science of crystallography and/or diffraction by a scientist in the early stage of their career.
Tamir Gonen is awarded the 2023 A. L. Patterson Award from the ACA: The Structural Science Society for his pioneering work on the cryo-EM method MicroED. RefleXions published an essay on two decades of MicroED development.
Hermina Wieske is awarded travel scholarships from Liljewalchs stipendiestiftelse, G. Bergmarks stiftelse, and Stiftelsen Bengt Lundqvists minne to visit the Gonen laboratory.
Cody Gillman was awarded an NIH T32 fellowship in Muscle Cell Biology, Pathophysiology and Therapeutics at UCLA for his research on using MicroED to analyze membrane proteins in lipids.
The prize is intended to recognize a scientist who displays the traits characterized by Dr. Suzanne Eaton, PhD: excellence in their work, passion for their discipline, and a caring personality for their colleagues.
