About the Hellman Fellows
2010-2011
John C. W. Randell
Ph.D., Virology, Harvard University; B.S. and B.A., University of Iowa. Randell trained as a biochemist and molecular biologist at Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where his research focused on the connection between DNA replication and the cell division cycle. He was a founding faculty member at Kathmandu University Medical School in Nepal. At the Academy, Randell works on the Alternative Energy Future project and two Academy studies on the future of the Internet. He began his Hellman Fellowship in 2009.
Kelly M. Stewart
Ph.D., Biochemistry, University of Toronto; B.S., Chemistry, Pennsylvania State University. During her graduate studies, Stewart conducted chemical biology research in the laboratory of Shana O. Kelley, which focused on the design and synthesis of a novel class of organelle-specific drug delivery vectors. She was awarded a Canadian Institutes of Health Research Training Fellowship in Radiation Research while in Toronto and was appointed as the liaison for the transdisciplinary trainees in this program. Prior to that, Stewart was a Post-Baccalaureate Cancer Research Training Fellow at the National Cancer Institute.
2009-2010
Kimberly J. Durniak
Ph.D., Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry, Yale University; B.A. and B.S., University
of Pittsburgh. As a member of the laboratory of Thomas A. Steitz at Yale, Durniak
studied the process by which RNA is synthesized during gene expression. She was
also a McDougal Fellow in the Yale Graduate Career Services Office and worked as
a liaison to the New York Academy of Sciences to provide career workshops for fellow
graduate students. She began her Hellman fellowship in 2008.
John C. W. Randell
Ph.D., Virology, Harvard University; B.S., University of Iowa. Field: Molecular
Biology. Randell has just completed a postdoctoral fellowship in the laboratory
of Dr. Stephen P. Bell at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His research
focuses on the connection between DNA replication and the cell division cycle. He
has published several papers in major journals and has taught at the Kathmandu University
Medical School in Nepal.
2008-2009
Dorit Zuk
Ph.D., Molecular Biology, Weizmann Institute of Science; B.Sc., Tel-Aviv University
Academy projects: The Global Nuclear Future, Alternative Models for the
Federal Funding of Science, and Scientists’ Understanding of the Public.
