Abstract:
The Edward Novitski Prize recognizes creativity and intellectual ingenuity in the solution of problems in genetics research. The prize honors scientific experimental work-either a single experimental accomplishment or a body of work. Ostrander is recognized for work developing the domestic dog as an experimental system for solving fundamental biological problems and identifying genetic sequences of relevance to human health and disease. Including work on disease and behavioral health, Ostrander has shown a dedication to creative methods for understanding canine genetics and the value of translating research organisms to human genetics.
