IRP Intern Wins Recognition in Prestigious Science Competition

Computational Biology Research Conducted at NIH Garners $25,000 Prize

Maryland teen Daniel Schäffer presented his research in Washington, D.C., as a finalist for the 2019 Regeneron Science Talent Search.

The IRP is home to some of today’s and tomorrow’s greatest scientific minds. Hundreds of budding biomedical pioneers begin honing their scientific skills here in high school, but very few win distinction as quickly as seventeen-year-old Daniel Schäffer, whose IRP research earned him inclusion among this year’s 40 finalists in the prestigious Regeneron Science Talent Search.

Remembrances: Claude B. Klee (1931-2017)

Claude Klee

Claude Klee, a true giant among the many great NIH biochemists, died on Monday, April 3, after suffering a heart attack. She was 85 years old. Claude was a pioneer in the biochemistry of calcium-binding proteins and calcium-dependent signaling. Although retired for more than a decade, she remained an active mentor and advisor at the NIH in the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and a consistent presence on the Bethesda campus until her death.
