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).

Coleen Murphy receives Keck Award
7/28/08 - Coleen Murphy,
an Assistant Professor of Molecular Biology and member of the Lewis-Sigler Institute for
Integrative Genomics is one of five recipients of a
2008 Keck Young Scholars in Medical Research Awards.
The W. M. Keck Foundation instituted the Distinguished Young Scholars Program in 1998
to support the nation's most promising young scientists involved in
cutting-edge biomedical research addressing the fundamental mechanisms
of human disease. Dr. Murphy's grant of up to one million dollars over
the next five years will support her research study to identify the
genes critical for the maintenance of higher neuronal activities, in
particular learning and memory, during aging
(read more).
John Hopfield selected for IEEE Frank Rosenblatt Award
7/10/08 - John Hopfield,
the Howard A. Prior
Professor of Life Sciences in the Department of Molecular Biology and
the Lewis-Sigler Institute, is the recipient of the 2009
IEEE Frank Rosenblatt Award.
The Award -
sponsored by the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society - recognizes
outstanding contributions to the advancement of the design, practice,
techniques or theory in biologically and linguistically motivated
computational paradigms, including but not limited to neural networks,
connectionist systems, evolutionary computation, fuzzy systems and
hybrid intelligent systems in which these paradigms are contained in the
IEEE fields of interest. The award consists of a bronze medal,
certificate, and $10,000 prize.
Coleen Murphy receives ASCB Junior Career Award
6/20/08 - Coleen Murphy,
an Assistant Professor of Molecular Biology and member of the Lewis-Sigler Institute for
Integrative Genomics is the recipient of an American Society of
Cell Biology Women in Cell Biology Committee Junior Career
Award. The Award is given to a woman in an early stage of her career
(generally less than five years in an independent position at the time
of nomination) who is making exceptional scientific contributions to
cell biology and exhibits the potential for continuing a high level of
scientific endeavor and leadership. She will receive the award in
December at the 48th annual meeting of the ASCB.
Olga Troyanskaya wins Phi Beta Kappa prize
6/2/08 - The Princeton Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa has awarded a prize for
excellence in teaching to Olga Troyanskaya, an Assistant Professor of
Computer Science and member of the Lewis-Sigler Institute for
Integrative Genomics, and Joshua Katz, an Associate Professor of
Classics. The recipients were selected by the sixteen members of the
class of 2008 who were elected to Phi Beta Kappa in October. The Chapter
believes that the prizes, established in 2004, are the only
university-wide teaching prizes awarded solely by vote of
undergraduates. The fall inductees were charged with identifying those
characteristics that define excellence in undergraduate teaching, and
then were asked to select two members of the faculty whom they believe
exemplify those qualities. The awards were made on Class Day.
