Dr. Joseph Pomerening, cell biologist at Indiana University has been named a 2009 Pew Scholar. Article here. The Indiana University news brief cites Dr. Pomerening's work as focusing on "how specific enzyme systems that control cell growth and division are regulated. Pomerening's research takes advantage of single-cell approaches along with cell sorting and live cell imaging of mammalian cells, as well as biochemical studies using Xenopus laevis egg extracts and embryos. He is specifically investigating the role of cyclin-dependent kinases, proteins that modify other proteins to alter their expression and that allow for dynamic changes that ultimately direct the cell to complete the complex and elegant process of division".

We thank Dr. Pomerening for the picture and salute him and his great team!
