Awards

Institute Scholar Monther Abu–Remaileh receives the ASBMB 2026 Walter A. Shaw Young Investigator Award in Lipid Research

The goal is to develop vaccines against the deadly Ebola, Marburg and related viruses, including those that have yet to emerge.

Researchers will test new vaccines that could provide all-in-one protection against viruses including Zaire Ebolavirus, Marburg and Sudan Ebolavirus.

The awards serve to highlight the individual contributions of postdocs whose service fosters belonging and uplifts their communities.

Thiam is being recognized for being a trailblazer of subcellular biophysics and unveiling new paradigms of biophysical immunology.

Eight scientists and engineers were named Schmidt Polymaths and will each receive up to $2.5 million to pursue research in new disciplines or using new methodologies.

The award recognizes outstanding research contributions in the area of lipids by a young investigator.
