Joachim Frank, former AEP Postdoc, has been awarded the 2017 Noble Prize in Chemistry, shared with Jacques Dubochet and Richard Henderson, for developing cryo-electron microscopy for the high-resolution structure determination of biomolecules in solution". Frank spent time in Applied and Engineering Physics Professor Benjamin Siegel's microscopy laboratory as part of his Harkness Postdoctoral Fellowship in 1971-1972. During this time, he developed a way to describe how the “partial coherence” of electron waves—their imperfect synchronization—affects how images are formed.
Joachim Frank is a Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics and of Biological Sciences at Columbia University, and Distinguished Professor of the State University of New York at Albany.
