FACULTY AWARDS
Chaitan Khosla has received the 2009 Arthur C. Cope Scholar Award. from the American Chemical Society. The purpose of the award is to recognize and encourage excellence in organic chemistry.
James Swartz has been appointed as an initial holder of the James H. Clark Professorship in the School of Engineering. The James H. Clark Fund for Bioengineering was established in 1999, by Jim Clark, former Stanford faculty member, founder of (among other companies) SGI and Netscape, and naming donor of the Clark Center on campus. The fund was designed to support bioengineering faculty generally, and was previously used to support new faculty in starting up their labs. This is the first time that the fund will be used to support two endowed Professorships; the other will be held by Scott Delp. Jim Swartz previously held the Leland T. Edwards Professorship, from 2006 until receiving this appointment.
Andrew Spakowitz was elected for full membership to Sigma Xi, a research society for pure and applied sciences. Full Membership is conferred upon any individual who has shown noteworthy achievement as an original investigator in a field of pure or applied science or engineering.
Clifford Wang has received a CAREER Award from the National Science Foundation to study genetic interactions in B cell proliferation. This information will help us understand mechanisms driving leukemia and also allow us to engineer B cells lines for therapeutic production. Cliff also has a young investigator grant from the Ellison Medical Foundation. He hopes to determine whether dynamics in gene expression affect aging.
