R&D Magazine is Proud to Announce the 2018 Scientist of the Year!
The announcement of Bette Korber, PhD, theoretical biologist from Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) as R&D Magazine's prestigious 2018 Scientist of the Year has the R&D community abuzz!
Korber’s innovative HIV “mosaic” vaccine design—assembled from fragments of natural sequences via a computational optimization method—led to a first-in-class preventative HIV vaccine, now being tested for efficacy in humans with support from the NIH and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation--a milestone few others have reached.
“As both an expert in computational biology and immunology, Bette is also uniquely positioned to try truly interdisciplinary approaches, and with her work she encourages others to do so, something to be celebrated in R&D.” - Bea Riemschneider, Editorial Director, R&D Magazine
Dr. Korber is set to receive her Scientist of the Year award at the 2018 R&D 100 Awards black-tie gala on November 16, at the Waldorf Astoria Orlando in Orlando, Florida.
