  • Dr Bruce William Stillman AO
    Dr Bruce William Stillman AO The degree of Doctor of Science (honoris causa) was conferred upon Dr Bruce Stillman AO at the Faculty of Economics and Business graduation ceremony held at 2.00pm on 9 May 2008. The Deputy Chancellor Mr Alan Cameron AM conferring the honorary degree upon Dr Stillman, photo, copyright Memento Photography. Citation Deputy Chancellor, I have the honour to present Bruce William Stillman for admission to the degree of Doctor of Science (honoris causa). Dr Bruce Stillman is President of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. A native of Australia, he obtained a Bachelor of Science degree with honors at The University of Sydney and a PhD at the John Curtin School of Medical Research at the Australian National University. He then moved to Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory as a Postdoctoral Fellow in 1979 and has been at the Laboratory ever since, being promoted to the scientific staff in 1981. Dr. Stillman has been Director of the Cancer Center at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory since 1992, a position he still holds. In 1994, he succeeded Nobel Prize winner Dr James D Watson as Director of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and was appointed President in 2003. Dr Stillman's research focuses on the mechanism and regulation of duplication of DNA and chromatin in cells, a process that ensures accurate inheritance of genetic information from one cell generation to the next. For these research accomplishments, Dr Stillman has received a number of honors including election as a Fellow of The Royal Society in 1993. In 1994, Dr Stillman was awarded the Julian Wells Medal and in 1999, Dr Stillman was appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia for service to scientific research.

  • Dr H.P. Heineken Prize for Biochemistry and Biophysics 2020 Awarded to Bruce Stillman
    Press release Amsterdam, June 2, 2020 Dr H.P. Heineken Prize for Biochemistry and Biophysics 2020 awarded to Bruce Stillman Bruce Stillman Photo: Bob Giglione The Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences has awarded the 2020 Dr H.P. Heineken Prize for Biochemistry and Biophysics to Bruce Stillman, President of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in the state of New York. Stillman is receiving the prize for his ground-breaking research on the way DNA is copied in eukaryotic cells, a process of fundamental importance to life on earth. The Heineken Prizes are the Netherlands’ most prestigious international science prizes. Every two years the prizes are awarded to five leading researchers. They were instituted in 1964 by Alfred H. Heineken in honour of his father Dr Henry P. Heineken. The 2020 laureates will be announced in the first week of June. Stillman discovered various proteins that are involved in DNA replication Bruce Stillman started to become interested in DNA replication when doing his PhD research on how the DNA of adenoviruses is copied. He later switched his focus from adenoviruses to the polyomavirus simian virus 40 (SV40), a DNA virus with the potential for causing tumours, and he ultimately used a yeast as the model system. Stillman discovered numerous important factors that are involved in DNA replication in eukaryotic cells. These cells have a nucleus. Virtually all multicellular organisms — such as plants, animals, and humans — are eukaryotes. Stillman co-discovered the RPA protein (Replication Protein A), which binds to a strand of DNA to prevent it from winding back on itself so that the enzyme polymerase can copy the strand of DNA.
