The Committee on Science, Space, and Tech- nology will come to order. Without objection, the Chair is authorized to declare recesses of the Committee at any time. And welcome to today’s hearing entitled ‘‘National Laboratories: World-Leading Innovation in Science.’’ And I’ll recognize myself for an opening statement. Today, we welcome a diverse group of Directors from five of DOE’s national laboratories. They oversee innovative work in basic science and early-stage research performed daily by some of the best scientists and researchers in the world. Our witnesses represent national labs that fulfill the Department of Energy’s missions within the Office of Science, applied energy and national security programs. The Science Committee’s jurisdic- tion over the DOE budget includes over $9 billion for civilian re- search, development, demonstration, and commercial application programs, much of which is conducted by the national labs. Over the past 70 years, this research community has led to monumental achievements in medicine, manufacturing, computing, and energy technology development. The labs that are represented here today have made invaluable contributions to U.S. scientific progress and leadership. They have repeatedly demonstrated that basic science research is the most ef- fective way to encourage innovation in technology. In 1942, a group of scientists in Chicago created the first nuclear reactor. Four years later, Argonne National Laboratory was formed to continue this groundbreaking nuclear research. Using the lab’s expertise in materials and nuclear science, Argonne designed the nuclear reactor used in the USS Nautilus, the first nuclear-pow- ered submarine. These reactor designs also became the prototype for most of today’s commercial nuclear power plants. The impact of Argonne’s research is far beyond what the early nuclear scientists could have

The DOE Joint Genome Institute has sequenced the genome of A. niger ATCC 1015, a wildtype strain and the source of the first patented microbial fermentation process for citric acid production. Preliminary annotation indicates the presence of over 250 glycosyl hydrolases. These enzymes are crucial for the degradation of lignocellulosic biomass into simple sugars and other chemical building blocks.

  • Meet the Director: Nigel Mouncey, Joint Genome Institute
    18 March 2019 Communique provides a biweekly review of recent Office of Science Communications and Public Affairs work, including feature stories, science highlights, social media posts, and more. This is only a sample of our recent work promoting research done at universities, national labs, and user facilities throughout the country. Please note that some links may expire after time. Meet the Director: Nigel Mouncey, Joint Genome Institute Biological parents pass down physical traits to their children. Microbial geneticist Nigel Mouncey's father passed down not just his genes, but a love of the science examining them as well. "I've always been into science. My dad was a microbiologist," Mouncey said. He and his father still joke about him inheriting that trait. "It was a no-brainer to pursue microbiology, given the genetic inheritance from my father." Like his dad, Mouncey first pursued microbiology. But as he finished his Ph.D. at the University of Sussex, scientists were wrapping up the first-ever sequencing of an organism's DNA. This new field sparked his interest. Twenty-four years later, Mouncey is now the director of the Joint Genome Institute, an Office of Science user facility at Berkeley Laboratory. Both Mouncey and the JGI have been studying genomics since the field's early years and evolving along the way. With Mouncey at the helm, the JGI continues to grow as a leader in the field of genomics. Click here to read more about Nigel Mouncey and his leadership of the Joint Genome Institute.
