Jennifer A. Doudna, Ph.D., professor of molecular biophysics and biochemistry and assistant investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, was one of 17 researchers honored by the National Academy of Sciences. Doudna received a $15,000 Award for Initiative in Research for her pioneering studies, which have enabled the determination of complex RNA structures, especially those of ribozymes, through X-ray crystallography. The award, established in 1981 by AT&T Bell Laboratories in honor of William O. Baker, is supported currently by Lucent Technologies.
