Congratulations to Aabid Shariff, who successfully defended his thesis, entitled "Learning Generative Models of Microtubule Distributions" on March 19. Aabid has accepted a position as a Senior Scientist, Image Analysis and Computational Biology, at GrassRoots Biotechnology. Aabid was advised by Drs. Robert F. Murphy and Gustavo Rohde.

CPCB Training Faculty Lillian Chong has been awarded the Carnegie Science Emerging Female Scientist Award, which recognizes a female leader whose cutting-edge work inspires change in math, science, or technology.

CPCB student Guy Zinman and his advisor Ziv Bar-Joseph are among the authors of a paper in Nature that for the first time links overexpression of a gene called sirtuin 6 to increased life span in mammals, specifically mice. Researchers who study aging have been intrigued by the large family of sirtuin genes and their proteins ever since they were linked to longevity in yeast.

CPCB Training Faculty member Ziv Bar-Joseph has been awarded the International Society for Computational Biology's Overton Prize for outstanding accomplishment. In recognition of this award, Bar-Joseph will give a keynote address this July at ISMB in Long Beach.
