On March 26, 2012, Professor Gregory A. Petsko wrote on behalf of the Strage Award Selection Committee:
It is with great pleasure that I announce the recipient of this year’s Strage Award for Aspiring Young Science Faculty, Dr. Michael Hagan of the Physics Department.
Mike is one of Brandeis’ most accomplished young faculty members. His work has focused largely on the factors that govern self-assembly – the ability of macromolecular systems to form organized structures spontaneously. This is at the heart of the development of complexity, not just in living organisms but also in nanotechnology. Please join me in congratulating Mike on winning this award, and bring your students and postdocs to his Strage Award Lecture.
The award ceremony and lecture will take place on Monday, April 16, in Abelson 131, at 12 :30 p.m. The title of the lecture is Mechanisms of Virus Assembly.
