Katja Lamia Named Searle Scholar

Scripps Research Institute Assistant Professor Katja Lamia has been named a 2012 Searle Scholar, one of 15 scientists selected from 186 applicants by the award program’s scientific advisory board of 12 distinguished scientists across a wide range of fields.

“The new Searle Scholars have in common that they are bold enough to embark on high-risk projects that offer the promise of leading to major advances in the basic sciences and to a deeper understanding of such scourges as tuberculosis, inflammatory diseases, cancer, and atherosclerosis," said the program’s scientific director, Doug Fambrough.

Lamia’s award project is titled “Integration of Mammalian Metabolism and Circadian Rhythms.”

The awards were established under the wills of John G. and Frances C. Searle. John Searle was president of G.D. Searle & Co., a research-based pharmaceutical company now part of Pfizer.
