Emory physicist Daniel Weissman awarded 2021 Sloan Research Fellowship
Emory College physicist Daniel Weissman, who specializes in building mathematical models to better understand the rapid evolution of pathogens, has been named a 2021 Sloan Research Fellow. The prestigious fellowship honors Weissman as among the most promising researchers working today. He plans to use the $75,000, two-year award to amplify his latest effort, to examine antibiotic resistance by building a model from a massive database of genomes from Staphylococcus aureus, an opportunistically pathogenic skin bacterium. The database was constructed by Timothy Read, an infectious diseases prof...
