AAAS Welcomes Two from Medical School
 |
| David Ballou |
 |
| Randal Kaufman |
David Ballou (Ph.D. 1971), professor of biological chemistry, and Randal Kaufman, Ph.D., a Warner-Lambert/Parke-Davis Professor of Medicine and professor of biological chemistry and internal medicine, in December 2006 were among a class of eight U-M scientists elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
The new fellows, who are elected by their peers, were singled out for scientifically or socially distinguished efforts to advance science or its applications.
Ballou was cited for developing and applying stopped-flow techniques for rapid kinetic studies on flavin and metal-containing enzymes, revealing intermediates crucial to understanding biological oxidation reaction mechanisms.
Kaufman earned election for distinguished contributions to the biological and medical sciences, particularly the understanding of protein-folding in the endoplasmic reticulum and the production of recombinant protein therapeutics.
The AAAS is an international organization dedicated to advancing science and innovation throughout the world.
