The International Society for Transgenic Technologies (ISTT) has awarded Whitehead Institute Founding Member Rudolf Jaenisch the ISTT Prize, recognizing his exceptional contribution to the field of animal transgenesis over the past five decades.
In announcing the award, ISTT said that Jaenisch’s scientific achievements have “revolutionized the understanding of embryonic development, cloning, epigenic regulation, cancer and disease, [and] transformed the work of the transgenic community and the scope of our activities, for which we are indebted.”
