Vatsan Raman, associate professor in the Department of Biochemistry, is among thirteen faculty to be honored with the H.I. Romnes Fellowships which recognize faculty with exceptional research contributions in the first six years after promotion to a tenured position. The award is named in recognition of the late WARF trustees president H.I. Romnes and comes with $60,000 that may be spent over five years.
Raman uses systems and synthetic biology to understand and engineer biomolecular and cellular systems at protein-wide and genome-wide scales. His research lies at the intersection of biochemistry, computation, and engineering. Raman has received the National Institutes of Health New Innovator Award and the National Science Foundation CAREER Award.
