We at BMBCB know that it is the people in a department that make it both successful and unique. Within each of our labs, our highly regarded faculty work with and mentor graduate and undergraduate students, laboratory technicians, and postdoctoral fellows. Our faculty members have been published in numerous scientific journals, such as Science, Development, Nature, Cell, Virology, and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. And in recognition of their pioneering research, they have been presented with many prestigious awards and have among their honors an American Academy of Arts and Sciences fellow, American Association for the Advancement of Science Fellows, Burroughs Wellcome Career Awards in the Biomedical Sciences, a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator, National Academy of Sciences Members, National Institutes of Health Merit Awards, and the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers.

It is with much sadness that the department reports the passing of colleague Dr. Emanuel Margoliash. He passed away peacefully on April 10, 2008. Dr. Margoliash served as chair of the department and was appointed the first Owen L. Coon Professor of Molecular Biology. He joined the Northwestern faculty in 1971 was instrumental in developing BMBCB into a leading research and academic department. His research focused on the process of metabolism, protein mechanism and evolution of the metabolic pathways by studying the protein cytochrome c.
