Past Recipients of the Catherine E. Costello Lifetime Achievement in Proteomics Award
| Catherine E. Costello Award for Exemplary Achievements in Proteomics The Catherine E. Costello Award for Exemplary Achievements in Proteomics (formerly the Catherine E. Costello Lifetime Achievement in Proteomics Award) recognizes an individual who has made significant discoveries and accomplished scientific achievements in the field of proteomics. In the spirit of Dr. Costello’s stellar career, efforts in mentoring and diversity, equity and inclusion are encouraged to be included in the application. Eligibility is restricted to US HUPO members who are >15 years in their profession and nominations of active researchers are encouraged. Nominations will be held for three years. Eligibility Nominations are now closed! Award winners were announced in December 2024.
Ileana Cristea is the Henry L. Hillman Professor of Molecular Biology at Princeton University. Her laboratory investigates host cell responses to human viral pathogens. She has been at the forefront of bridging developments in mass spectrometry-proteomics to important findings in virology. Her laboratory has contributed to the emergence of the field of nuclear DNA sensing in immune response, has defined organelle remodeling events during viral infections, has described the first characterization of a virus microenvironment, and has discovered antiviral factors for therapeutic intervention. Dr. Cristea is the Editor-in-Chief oof Molecular & Cellular Proteomics. She is a former President of the American Human Proteome Organization (US HUPO), a past Chair of the Biology/Disease-driven Human Proteome Project (B/D-HPP) of HUPO, and the Chair of the Infectious Disease team of HUPO B/D-HPP. She has taught the summer Proteomics Course at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory for over ten years. She was recognized with the Bordoli Prize from the British Mass Spectrometry Society, NIDA Avant-Garde Award for HIV/AIDS Research, Human Frontiers Science Program Young Investigator Award, Early Career Award in Mass Spectrometry from ACS, ASMS Research Award, Molecular Cellular Proteomics Lectureship, Mallinckrodt Scholar Award, Discovery Award in Proteomic Sciences at HUPO, Princeton University Graduate Mentoring Award, the WALS Lectureship from the NIH Director, and the Paul Allen Distinguished Investigator Award. |
