The government of Japan is honoring HHMI Investigator Prof. Keiko Torii with a Medal of Honor with Purple Ribbon.

The award is given to those who made extraordinary contributions to the arts & sciences. The Emperor of Japan will confer the honor at the Imperial Palace on May 13th.

Great work by super star grad students and postdoc/new PI Grace Hibshman, Matt Hooper, and Jack Bravo Molecular Biosciences NaturalSciences @ UT. Colab with Johnson lab and finally the other CRISPR guy Ilya Finkelstein! Lots to see. My favorite: the SpRYmer.

Truly honored to be receiving the Medal of Honor with Purple Ribbon 紫綬褒章 conferred by the Emperor of Japan. This honor is for basic plant science research. Thank you, my colleagues, collaborators, past & present lab members UW Biology Molecular Biosciences NaturalSciences @ UT Nagoya Univ ITbM

It was an honor to receive this award with Dr. Holmgren and Dr. Graham. Many thanks to IVI and SK bioscience for supporting this award. I had a wonderful week and enjoyed my interactions with all the scientists. I look forward to new collaborations. Thank you Jerome!

Congrats to 6 @TexasSciencefaculty for achieving the rank of #AAASFellow by @AAAS! We’re proud of Jaquelin Dudley, Kristen Grauman, Arlen Johnson, Daniel Leahy, Xiaoqin “Elaine” Li and Tanya Paull. Read more: cns.utexas.edu/news/announcem… @UT_MBS UT Physics Computer Science at UT Austin

Dr. Lydia Finley 'Identifying and exploiting cell-state dependent metabolic configurations'

Vincent travels to UT Austin to speak with Jason McLellan about his career & research on SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, including the effect of adding two proline residues, its effect on other viral spike glycoproteins & general approaches to vaccine design. 📺 bit.ly/3J9rGP6

3 Million+ deaths in the U.S. were prevented with the COVID vaccines created with technology developed by Jason McLellan. Part of Molecular Biosciences, they study the structures of proteins and develop tools that can be translated into therapeutic interventions. More: mclellanlab.org
