Advancing science to serve society

Associate Investigator Sue Jaspersen, PhD, was elected as an American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Fellow for her distinguished contributions to the field of cell biology, particularly for her research on the yeast spindle pole body and nuclear envelope using imaging and genetics.

Jaspersen is one of 391 members elected in 2016 as Fellows of the Association. The tradition of electing AAAS Fellows began in 1874 to recognize members’ efforts to advance science or its applications.
