LA JOLLA\u2014Salk Professors Susan Kaech<\/a> und Alan Saghatelian<\/a> have been named 2020 Fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the world\u2019s largest general scientific society and publisher of the journal Wissenschaft<\/em>. Kaech and Saghatelian are among 489 new AAAS Fellows who were nominated by their peers for their distinguished efforts to advance science.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very proud to celebrate Sue and Alan\u2019s achievements as they are elected as 2020 AAAS Fellows,\u201d says Salk President Rusty Gage<\/a>. \u201cTheir high caliber of research and dedication to advancing science are greatly appreciated at Salk and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kaech is the director of the NOMIS Center for Immunobiology and Microbial Pathogenesis and holds the NOMIS Chair. She has been selected as a AAAS Fellow for her contributions to immunology by identifying genes and signaling molecules that generate memory T cells, which are critical for maintaining long-term immunity during acute and chronic infections and can be suppressed in cancer. Recently, Kaech published a paper<\/a> on how targeting T cells in the lungs could lead to immunity against respiratory viruses. The insight could aid in the development of universal vaccines for influenza and the novel coronavirus.<\/p>\n

Saghatelian is a professor in the Clayton Foundation Laboratories for Peptide Biology and holds the Dr. Frederik Paulsen Chair. He is being recognized for his work identifying new proteins and fats in cells and determining how they are controlled and might be targeted in therapies. Saghatelian recently\u00a0identified two genes<\/a> that can regulate levels of healthy fats, called FAHFAs, in mice.\u00a0Because FAHFAs decrease inflammation and increase insulin sensitivity,\u00a0a better understanding of the genes could eventually lead to treatments for people with diabetes and inflammation.<\/p>\n
