MCDB Distinguished Professor Norm Pace travels to Berlin to receive Lifetime Achievement in Science Award from the RNA Society

MCDB's Norm Pace continues to reap awards for his research activities. In late July he travels to Berlin to receive the annual Lifetime Achievement in Science Award from the RNA Society, an international society devoted to the study of RNA chemistry and biology. Pace receives this award in acknowledgement of his many contributions to RNA science, notably in RNA processing. Pace was one of the early workers in RNA processing, which has now burgeoned into a broad scientific field, with implications for fundamental biological understanding as well as health-related applications. Pace was cited for his contributions in stable RNA processing and RNA structure, particularly with ribosomal and transfer RNAs.
