Berkeley Lab

Eva Nogales, a senior faculty scientist in Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's (Berkeley Lab) Biosciences Area, has won the 2023 Shaw Prize in Life Science and Medicine for pioneering structural biology that enabled visualization, at the level of individual atoms, of the protein machines responsible for gene transcription, one of life's fundamental processes.

Nogales, who is also a UC Berkeley distinguished professor of biochemistry, biophysics, and structural biology, shares the prize with Patrick Cramer, director of the Department of Molecular Biology at the Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences in Germany.
