Science Spotlight Celebrates 5th Annual Tri-Institutional Breakout Prize for Junior Investigators

Join us from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. ET for the June 11 session of “MSK Science Spotlight” recognizing this year’s winners of the Tri-Institutional Breakout Prize for Junior Investigators – Manu Setty, PhD of the Dana Pe’er Lab at the Sloan Kettering Institute; Alexander J. Meeske, PhD of the Luciano Marraffini Lab at The Rockefeller University and Ana Patricia Gomes, PhD of the John Blenis Lab at Weill Cornell Medicine.

Each recipient will share remarks on this accomplishment and contributions to the research community. Established in 2015, the annual award recognizes outstanding work by postdoctoral researchers from the Tri-Institutional community with a prize of $25,000 for each winner. This honor was created by three winners of the 2013 Breakthrough Prize in Life Science, including Dr. Charles Sawyers, seeking to “pay it forward” and help promising scientists receive the support and funding needed to conduct basic and translational research.

Today’s session occurs at an alternative time but typically, “MSK Science Spotlight” seminars take place every Monday and Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. ET and last 60 minutes, including 15 minutes for Q&A. Detailed information about seminar speakers, dates, and times as well as live streams and recorded video are available here.
