In a competitive, international search process the Bio-X Senior Fellow Program Committee, chaired by Dr. Alfred Spormann, identified Russell Monds as the first “Senior Bio-X fellow”.

Dr. Ruth Huttenhain's group deciphers how G protein-coupled receptors decode extracellular cues into dynamic and context-specific cellular signaling networks to elicit diverse physiologic responses. They exploit quantitative proteomics to capture the spatiotemporal organization of signaling networks combined with functional genomics to study their impact on physiology.
