Description
The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology’s JBC Herbert Tabor Early Career Investigator Award recognizes exceptional published research by the next generation of scientists. It honors Herbert Tabor’s contributions to science and to the Journal of Biological Chemistry, where he served as editor-in-chief from 1971 to 2012. Awards recognize first authors of outstanding JBC papers published in the preceding year, emphasizing creativity and scientific excellence.
The award spans a broad range of biochemical and molecular biological research rather than a single research theme. Recent honored work includes protein packaging into extracellular vesicles, malaria proteins for potential diagnostic use, targeted protein degradation, and cardiac myosin dynamics. Earlier recognized research includes protein folding, iron homeostasis, viral infection, cancer biology, and enzyme function.
