Christine Davis Mantai

SUNY Fredonia alumnus (1973 chemistry and biology) Michael A. Marletta has won the 2008 Murray Goodman Memorial Prize for “contributions towards a molecular understanding of nitric oxide signaling and gas sensing using chemical and biophysical methods.”  Dr. Marletta is the Aldo DeBenedictis Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and the chair of the Department of Chemistry at the University of California at Berkeley.

This annual award was established in memory of Murray Goodman, founding editor of Biopolymers. The first Murray Goodman Memorial Prize was awarded in 2007 to Christopher Walsh of Harvard Medical School. 

The award consists of a $10,000 cash prize and a banquet in honor of the recipient. The prize will be presented during the 2008 American Chemical Society meeting, in a special award symposium held in conjunction with the ACS Division of Biological Chemistry.

This prize is just one of many recent awards for Marletta, including the Emil Thomas Kaiser Award of the Protein Society (2007) and the American Chemical Society’s Gustavus John Esselen Award for Chemistry in the Public Interest (2007).
