#LaskerAward winner Lucy Shapiro asked: How do living organisms translate information from a linear genetic code into three-dimensional structures? And with that, she broke open a new field. 🧪 #Lasker2025 #systemsbiology www.youtube.com/watch?v=vivR...

“The development of targeted therapeutics for #cysticfibrosis, recognized by this year’s #LaskerAward, represents the culmination of a decades-long partnership between academia, the NIH, patient advocates, and industry.” 🧪 #Lasker2025 jclinical-invest.bsky.social

In his own words—#LaskerAward winner Dirk Görlich explains the scientific thinking behind discovering the critical functions of low-complexity domains within protein sequences. 🧪 #Lasker2025 #phaseseparation @JAMA.com @mpi-nat.bsky.social jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

2025 @laskerfdn.bsky.social Clinical Medical Research Award: Michael Welsh, Jesús González, Paul Negulescu development of a novel class of drugs that reverses the signs and symptoms of cystic fibrosis and slows disease progression www.jci.org/articles/vie... nejm.org/doi/full/10....

“Rewriting the Chapter on Cystic Fibrosis” #LaskerAward winner Michael Welsh writes in @JAMA.com about key moments that led to transforming #cysticfibrosis from a death sentence into a manageable condition. 🧪 #Lasker2025

“As scientists, it is our responsibility to communicate to the citizens of our nation so that we can work together to ensure their health and the health of their children.” - Lucy Shapiro, #LaskerAward winner 🧪 #Lasker2025 #scicomm @JAMA.com

#DYK? Mary Lasker conceived of the #LaskerAward (s) to showcase breakthroughs in medical research in order to galvanize public support for science. 🧪 @nejm.org highlights the #Lasker2025 Awards in their “Clinical Implications of Basic Research” section.

Why are low-complexity domains (LCDs) in proteins important? #LaskerAward winners Dirk Görlich & Steven McKnight showed that they are critical for intracellular transport and organization. #Lasker2025 🧪 #structuralbiology #phaseseparation @mpi-nat.bsky.social

As one of the many trainees influenced by Lucy Shapiro, congratulations and thank you for establishing the incredible Dev Bio department at Stanford. Thank you for being a role model, and thank you for your service to our field and the world.

Congratulations to Dr. Lucy Shapiro for winning one of the Lasker Prizes this year! I was a co-author with her on a paper 25 years ago, on Caulobacter crescentus, the species she has studied for >50 years pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11259647/
