Molecular biologist Erika Pearce, whose groundbreaking research into the role of metabolism in immune system regulation has led to fundamental discoveries about cellular biology and new avenues for drug development, will join Johns Hopkins University as a Bloomberg Distinguished Professor.
An international leader in the field of immunometabolism, Pearce has always had a fascination with how the body works. As a child, she was drawn to human anatomy books, spending her time scouring the pages and dreaming of becoming a doctor. But a course on basic immunology during her undergraduate studies at Cornell University sparked a love of res

Flexible and adaptive microelectronics is considered an innovation driver for new and more effective biomedical applications. These include, for example, the treatment of damaged nerve bundles, chronic pain, or the control of artificial limbs. For this to work, close contact between electronics and neural tissue is essential for effective electrical and mechanical coupling. In addition, potential applications arise from the production of tiny and flexible surgical tools.

The award is one of the most prestigious in Europe and endowed with 500,000 Swiss francs. With this prize the Louis-Jeantet Foundation honors the director at the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Biophysical Chemistry for his pioneering work in the field of gene transcription. Transcription is a copying process enabling living cells to produce transcripts of their genes that then serve as blueprints for making proteins. Cramer s research focuses on the molecular machines, called RNA polymerases, that control this fundamental process of life. Patrick Cramer has visualized the structures of many of these cellular copying machines in atomic detail for the first time. He demonstrated how RNA polymerases translate genetic information and how they work as a team with other protein complexes. His ground-breaking research provides deep insights into gene transcription with unprecedented detail. It is highly des
