South Dakota State University Ph.D. Student Marie-Laure Sauer Wins 'Young Scientist' Award for Plant Biotechnology Research
Monday June 21, 10:01 am ET
SAN FRANCISCO, June 21 /PRNewswire/ -- South Dakota State University Ph.D. candidate Marie-Laure Sauer, a native of Toulouse, France, was recognized today by the council for Biotechnology Information (CBI) for her innovative research in the field of plant biotechnology.
At a plenary session featuring three Nobel Prize winners at BIO 2004, an international biotechnology convention, Sauer accepted a $5,000 "Young Scientist" scholarship award from CBI. Sauer is conducting research into how biotechnology can be used to produce a healthier, more stable soybean oil that holds up better when stored or heated.
"Marie-Laure's work could make a lot of the food we eat every day even better for us," said Linda Thrane, executive director of CBI, which sponsors the awards. . . .
Sauer said she came to the United States to study biotechnology, in part because the climate for her research is more supportive here. "The fact that other people recognize your work is very rewarding and makes you want to continue," . . .
