Rebeiz Foundation for Basic Research Prize
The First Annual RFFBR 2006 Paper Prize has been awarded to Drs. Britta Forster, Ulrike Mathesius and Barry P. Pogson for their paper on the "Comparative Proteomics of High-Light Stress in the Model Alga Clamydomonas reinhardtii, which was published in: Proteomics 6: 4309-4320 (2006). In selecting that paper for the first 2006 RFFBR Paper Award, The Foundation Board of Directors felt that the described work will greatly benefit other chloroplast researchers.
A goal of the Rebeiz Foundation for Basic Research is to promote chloroplast and bioengineering research. Each year the organization gives an award for the best research paper on a topic within the fields of chloroplast biochemistry and molecular biology.
