Wang Recognized for Contributions to Genetic Research
Dr. Jue D. (Jade) Wang, assistant professor of molecular and human genetics at Baylor College of Medicine, is one of two geneticists to receive the 2010 Rosalind Franklin Young Investigator Award. Named for British scientist Rosalind Franklin, the award recognizes groundbreaking contributions in genetic research and hopes to inspire and support new generations of women in the field.
Wang received the award for her work with bacteria to reveal the processes involved in DNA replication and how such replication works with cellular processes. She will receive $75,000 over three years. Wang primarily focuses her research on DNA regulation and seeks to identify small molecules and proteins involved in replication and additional regulators.
The awards were announced recently by the Genetics Society of America, the American Society of Human Genetics and The Peter and Patricia Gruber Foundation.
