Weizmann Woman
> Receives Award
The first Weizmann Women and
Science Award was presented to
Professor Joan Argetsinger
Steitz of Yale University's School
of Medicine.
The award, announced May 3
by Sara Lee Schupf, national
chairwoman of the American
Committee for the Weizmann In-
stitute, includes a $25,000 re-
search grant to the project of the
recipient's choice.
The presentation of the award
will take place at a reception in
honor of Professor Steitz at the
New York Academy of Science in
New York City on June 7. The
award is to give recognition to an
outstanding woman scientist in
the United States who has made
a significant contribution to the
scientific community. The objec-
tive of the award is to enhance
the visibility of women in science,
and to provide a role model to
motivate and encourage the next
generation of young women sci-
entists.
Professor Steitz's research has
centered around the function of
RNA in catalytic processes. Fo-
cusing on the structure and be-
havior of these cellular complexes,
she uncovered their key role in ac-
tivating the most basic biological
processes that convert informa-
tion in the DNA to active protein
molecules in the living cell.
Her research is vital not only
for the understanding it adds to
basic molecular biology, but also
for its implication for improved
diagnosis and treatment of au-
toimmune diseases.
Professor Steitz, the Henry
Ford II Professor of Molecular
Biophysics and Biochemistry,
graduated from Antioch College
and earned her Ph.D. in bio-
chemistry from Harvard Univer-
sity. She is an investigator at
Yale's Howard Hughes Medical
Institute and a Fellow of the Salk
Institute. She serves on the
boards of the Whitehead Institute
and the Cold Spring Harbor Lab-
oratory. She is a member of the
National Academy of Sciences
and the American Academy of
Arts and Sciences. She is a recip-
ient of the National Medal of Sci-
ence and was the first woman to
win the Warren Triennial Prize.
Twelve of the 26 recipients of this
honor have subsequently received
a Nobel Prize.
"Professor Steitz is an excel-
lent scientist and is definitely
most worthy of the award," said
Professor Ruth Arnon, the for-
mer vice president of the Weiz-
mann Institute of Science and
the highest ranking woman sci-
entist in Israel. "Professor Steitz
deserves this recognition and I
know she will be an outstanding
role model and mentor to future
women scientists," Ms. Schupf
said. ❑
