Dr. Sara Sawyer was awarded an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship in Molecular Biology for 2009.  This program seeks to recognize the achievements of outstanding young scholars in science, mathematics, economics and computer science.

Past recipients of Sloan Research Fellowships have gone on to win 38 Nobel prizes, 14 Fields Medals (mathematics), and eight John Bates Clark awards (economics).   

Once chosen, Sloan Research Fellows are free to pursue whatever lines of inquiry are of most interest to them, and they are permitted to employ Fellowship funds in a wide variety of ways to further their research aims.
