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).

Joshua Shaevitz is named a 2009 Pew Scholar
6/16/09 - Joshua Shaevitz, an Assistant Professor of physics and member of the
Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics, has been named a 2009
PEW Scholar in the Biomedical Sciences, one
of 17 promising early- to mid-career biomedical researchers in the
nation to be honored. The grants are awarded by The Pew Charitable
Trusts and the University of California at San Francisco (UCSF). Each
Scholar will receive $240,000 over four years to undertake research on a
biomedical science project of their choosing. Shaevitz's research aims
to determine how bacteria use mechanical forces to affect cell shape,
motility, chromosome segregation and cytokinesis. (Read more)
Coleen Murphy's research on aging featured in PWB
6/15/09 - Coleen Murphy, an Assistant Professor of molecular biology and member of the
Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics, is the subject of an
article in the June 15 issue of Princeton Weekly Bulletin
describing her innovative research on aging. Murphy's research with C.
elegans, a hermaphroditic worm, aims to understand the genetic
mechanisms controlling the beginning and end of a lifeform's
reproductive capability, and could lead to learning how to exert control
over it. And a grant from the Keck Foundation supports research into
whether cognitive decline with age can be measured in worms by
identifying the genes critical for the maintenance of higher neuronal
activities, in particular, learning and memory, during aging. (Read more)
