Abstract

ACS Award in Pure Chemistry: Gabriela S. Schlau-Cohen Sponsor: Alpha Chi Sigma fraternity and the Alpha Chi Sigma Educational Foundation Citation: For elucidating structural and energetic dynamics of biological and bio-inspired systems, particularly membrane proteins Current position: Associate chemistry professor, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Education: ScB, chemical physics, Brown University; PhD, chemistry, University of California, Berkeley Schlau-Cohen on a global challenge she hopes her research will help solve: “Like many of us, I’m scared about climate change and what it’ll mean for my daughter. I hope that our studies of photosynthesis may one day guide the development of affordable and scalable solar energy devices or help make biofuels a feasible renewable energy source. Although this may be a long time off, we need both short-term and long-term solutions for climate change.” What Schlau-Cohen’s colleagues say: “Gabriela is, in my opinion, one of the top experimental physical chemists of her generation.
