Kiehart lab members win AAAS Newcomb Cleveland Prize for 2015

A large team of researchers, including Prof. Dan Kiehart and his former postdoc U. Serdar Tulu, has won the AAAS Newcomb Cleveland Prize for 2015.  This is the oldest prize awarded by the AAAS, established in 1923, and is awarded for original research published in Science magazine.  The winning paper was "Lattice light-sheet microscopy: Imaging molecules to embryos at high spatiotemporal resolution," Chen et al., Science 346:6208 (Oct. 24, 2014).  According to the citation, "The authors illustrate the power of [lattice light-sheet microscopy] using 20 distinct biological systems ranging from single-molecule binding kinetics to cell migration and division, immunology, and embryonic development. The authors created and successfully applied a fundamentally new method that can be utilized in various fields."

Congratulations to Dan and Serdar!
