Congratulations to Robert Schiestl
Congratulations to Robert Schiestl,
associate professor of toxicology in the Department
of Cancer Cell Biology. He has been awarded the Novartis Award
(formerly known as the Sandoz Award). The award honors
outstanding scientific achievements in the disciplines of
biology, medicine, and chemistry.
Schiestl has made fundamental contributions to
understanding genetic recombination in yeast and has applied these
findings to the development of methods for monitoring genome
rearrangements induced by environmental chemicals in a variety
of in vitro systems and in intact mammalian organisms.
