Mark Schnitzer has been appointed HHMI Investigator
Fifty-six of the nation's most creative biomedical scientists are
being given the opportunity to tackle their most ambitious, risky
research plans, as they become the newest class of Howard Hughes
Medical Institute (HHMI) investigators. The Institute is committing
more than $600 million over their first term of appointment.
The 42 men and 14 women represent 31 institutions
nationwide, including seven institutions — the Aaron Diamond AIDS
Research Center, Boston University, Cornell University-Ithaca, Purdue
University, Texas A&M University, Cincinnati Children's Hospital
Medical Center, and the University of Texas at Austin — that are adding
an HHMI investigator for the first time. Their careers in science were
launched in countries around the globe, including China, Israel,
Argentina, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
