Otten named Damon Runyon Fellow

Renee Otten, a postdoctoral fellow in the Kern lab at Brandeis, has been awarded a November 2011 Damon Runyon Fellowship to support his postdoctoral research. Otten received his Ph.D. in 2011 from the University of Groningen, working on applying NMR spectroscopic methods to studying the relationship between protein structure and dynamics. The fellowship will support his continued efforts to use NMR to study dynamics and enzyme catalysis in protein kinases.
