The Lewis-Sigler
Institute for Integrative Genomics, housed in the Carl Icahn
Laboratory at Princeton University, was established to innovate in
research and teaching at the interface of modern biology and the more
quantitative sciences. The Institute is the hub of the Center for
Quantitative Biology, funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences
(NIGMS), one of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Lewis-Sigler Institute faculty member Joshua Shaevitz receives Human Frontier Science Program Award
4/1/2008 - Joshua Shaevitz, an Assistant Professor in physics and the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics, along with his collaborator Tâm Mignot at the IBSM- Structural Biology and Microbiology Institute in Marseilles, France, has been awarded a Young Investigators' research grant from the Human Frontier Science Program. The award funds collaborative research that actively involves all members of the team, providing $250,000 per year for three years. Their research proposal is entitled "Biophysics of bacterial gliding motility".
Susan Powell wins President's Achievement Award
3/27/08 - Lewis-Sigler Institute Assistant Director Susan M. Powell is
the recipient of a University President's Achievement Award
[http://www.princeton.edu/hr/recog/paawinners.htm]. The Award
recognizes members of the support and administrative staff with five or
more years of Princeton University service whose dedication and special
efforts have contributed significantly to the success of their
departments and the University. In his nomination, David Botstein, the
Anthony B. Evnin '62 Professor of Genomics and director of the
institute, wrote, "Susan has earned the respect and admiration of
everybody in the institute. She is the person to whom almost anyone will
turn first. She has been very creative in thinking of ways to fund, for
instance, research and teaching infrastructure, and has contributed many
of the ideas that ultimately have been accepted by funders. She has
managed funds flexibly and fairly, so that we have gotten more out of
each dollar as a result. Susan is an all-around outstanding
administrator, and deserves extraordinary recognition for an
extraordinary level of excellence and innovation in her work."
Lewis-Sigler Institute faculty member Joshua
Shaevitz receives Sloan Research Fellowship
2/18/2008 - Joshua Shaevitz, an
Assistant Professor in physics and the Lewis-Sigler Institute for
Integrative Genomics, has been awarded a Sloan Research Fellowship by
the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. The Sloan Fellowship is an unrestricted
grant awarded to outstanding scientists and scholars early in their
careers. He will use his two-year grant of $45,000 to fund research on
the physical mechanisms of cell shape in bacteria.
Coleen Murphy awarded a March of Dimes Basil O'Connor Starter Scholar Award
1/7/2008 - Coleen
Murphy, an Assistant Professor of Molecular Biology and member of
the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics has been awarded a
March of Dimes Basil O'Connor Starter Scholar Award. The awards
support research on birth defects by young scientists just embarking
on independent research careers. The goal of Dr. Murphy's proposed
research is to identify genetic and molecular mechanisms that maintain
oocyte quality with age.
