    L’ORÉAL-UNESCO FOR WOMEN IN SCIENCE 2016 INTERNATIONAL AWARDS WOMEN IN SCIENCE have the power to change the world The L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science programme was founded in 1998 with a simple aim; to ensure that women are fairly represented at all levels in science. We face unprecedented challenges in our world; climate change, sustainable energy, affordable healthcare, security among other issues. Part of the solutions will come from science and science needs women. Those recognized by the L’Oréal-UNESCO programme have already proved how transformative their science can be in addressing these challenges. Science is indeed part of the future, and it needs every talented mind available, be they men or women. The L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science programme aims to ensure that research in every field takes full advantage of the intelligence, creativity and passion of one-half of the population of the planet. The world needs science, science needs women because women in science have the power to change the world. Isabel Marey Semper General Manager L’Oréal Foundation WOMEN IN SCIENCE have the power to change the world Gender equality is a global priority for UNESCO. In general, the situation for women and girls in terms of access to education, especially higher education, career progression and participation in decision making processes, remains a matter of concern. As ‘UNESCO Science Report: towards 2030’ shows, the disparity is particularly evident in the natural sciences where the number of women participating in science still lags behind in many areas like the physical sciences and engineering.

  • 2021 Gruber Genetics Prize Recognizes Hematologist- Oncologist and Geneticist Stuart H
    Media Contact: A. Sarah Hreha +1 (203) 432‐6231 [email protected] Online Newsroom: https://gruber.yale.edu/news‐media Hematologist-Oncologist Stuart Orkin Receives $500,000 Gruber Genetics Prize for His Groundbreaking Research on the Genetics of Inherited Blood Disorders Stuart H. Orkin March 2, 2021, New Haven, CT – The 2021 Gruber Genetics Prize recognizes hematologist‐ oncologist and geneticist Stuart H. Orkin, M.D., for his pioneering discoveries of the genetic underpinnings of blood disorders. His remarkable body of work has not only revolutionized our understanding of how these illnesses occur but has also led to promising new gene‐based therapies for thalassemia and sickle cell disease, two inherited blood disorders that affect millions of people around the world. Dr. Orkin is the David G. Nathan Distinguished Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and the Dana‐Farber/Boston Children’s Cancer and Blood Disorders Center, and an Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. The prize, which includes a $500,000 award, will be presented to Orkin at the annual meeting of the American Society of Human Genetics in October. “Dr. Orkin has led the field of hematology for more than 40 years,” says Eric Olson, professor at UT Southwestern and member of the Selection Advisory Board. “His work has been deeply mechanistic, groundbreaking and impactful. Through a series of seminal discoveries, he has helped to unravel key molecular mysteries behind how blood cells develop—and how inherited blood disorders occur.” Early in his career, Orkin identified many genetic mutations behind the various types of thalassemia, an inherited blood disorder characterized by inadequate production of the protein beta‐globin, one of two chains of hemoglobin, the oxygen‐carrying component of red cells.

  • News Release
    NEWS RELEASE Legacy of BC’s First Nobel Laureate Lives On Celebrating the 25th anniversary of Michael Smith’s Nobel Prize Vancouver, BC — This October, organizations from across British Columbia’s scientific research community are celebrating the powerful legacy of Dr. Michael Smith, the province’s first Nobel Laureate, as we mark the 25th anniversary of his Nobel Prize. Smith’s impact and foundational work in genomics inspired many and helped propel our province to international prominence as a world leader in genomics research. Smith’s Nobel Prize was awarded for his work on site-directed mutagenesis, a revolutionary technique that allows scientists to make a genetic mutation precisely at any spot in a DNA molecule, helping us understand more about how genes work, and what happens when they go wrong. This technique has led to new tests and treatments for diseases such as cancer, with made-in-BC treatments and practices putting the province near the top of world rankings for cancer outcomes. It has also contributed to better understanding of conditions such as Alzheimer’s, cystic fibrosis and immunodeficiency disorders like HIV/AIDS. A man of humble origins, Smith donated his entire Nobel Prize award. Half of the $500,000 prize went to researchers working in schizophrenia research, at the time a notoriously under-funded area. The other half he gave to Science World British Columbia and to the Society for Canadian Women in Science and Technology, enabling the group to continue supporting and promoting women in their education and career choices. The Nobel Prize, and Smith’s dedication to using his position to advance BC research as a whole, was a game changer for the province, vaulting the expertise of local scientists onto the world stage and putting BC on the map as a place for world-class research.
