Daniel Larson, Ph.D., Head of Systems Biology of Gene Expression in CCR’s Laboratory of Receptor Biology and Gene Expression, is among the 96 researchers named by the White House as recipients of the 2011 Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE). The awards are the highest honor bestowed by the U.S. government on science and engineering professionals in the early stages of their independent research careers. Larson received the award for his studies on transcription dynamics of single human genes.
The awards, established by President Bill Clinton in 1996, are coordinated by the Office of Science and Technology Policy within the Executive Office of the President. Eleven federal agencies, including the Department of Health and Human Services, join together annually to nominate the most meritorious scientists and engineers. Winning scientists and engineers are selected for their pursuit of innovative research at the frontiers of science and technology and their commitment to community service as demonstrated through scientific leadership, public education, or community outreach.
