Paul Kenny Named Mathilde Solowey Lecturer

Scripps Research Institute Associate Professor Paul Kenny has received the 2012 Mathilde Solowey Lecture Award in the Neurosciences, sponsored by the National Institutes of Health and administered by the Foundation for Advanced Education in the Sciences.

The Solowey award honors rising neuroscientists for innovative research with significant translational potential, according to the award announcement. The Kenny lab focuses on understanding the molecular neurobiology of drug addiction and obesity, with an emphasis on developing novel therapeutics for these disorders. Kenny will present the award lecture May 10 on the NIH Bethesda, Maryland campus.

The late Mathilde Solowey, a former member of the National Microbiological Institute (forerunner of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease) and a program officer at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders, established the award endowment upon her retirement in 1974. The first Solowey award was presented to Scripps Research Professor Emeritus Floyd Bloom.
