Eric Betzig's Nobel Prize, a homegrown success

A letter from Michael M. Gottesman, Deputy Director for Intramural Research

The NIH intramural program has placed its mark on another Nobel Prize. You likely heard last week that Eric Betzig of HHMI's Janelia Farm Research Campus will share the 2014 Nobel Prize in Chemistry "for the development of super-resolved fluorescence microscopy." Eric's key experiment came to life right here at the NIH, in the lab of Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz.
