The Scholarship Fund was established in memory of Dr. Herschel Lewis Roman, who joined the UW faculty in 1942 and founded the Department of Genetics (now known as the Department of Genome Sciences) in 1959. By the time of his retirement in 1980, he had received international recognition for his work in chromosomal behavior and genetic recombination. With his passing in 1989, his family and friends proposed this scholarship in his honor. The scholarship, which provides from $2500 to $5000 for Autumn through Spring Quarters, will be awarded to one or two UW undergraduates who demonstrate an interest in genetic research. The application deadline is June 1, 2012. Please see the Roman Scholarship page for more information and an application.

Dr. Douglas Fowler has joined the Genome Sciences faculty. He is interested in how protein variation impacts function, and in understanding what the consequences of mutation can tell us about protein properties like three-dimensional structure and thermodynamic stability.
