Abstract The 2007 M. Jeang Retrovirology Prize has been awarded to Dr. Karen L. Beemon The Retrovirology Prize awarded annually recognizes an outstanding mid-career retrovirologist aged 45 to 60 1 2 . The prize supported by the Ming K. Jeang Foundation alternates between HIV and non-HIV research. In 2005 Dr. Stephen P. Goff was the prize winner 3 and last year Dr. Joseph G. Sodroski was recognized for his HIV research 4 . The 2007 awardee of the Retrovirology prize is Dr. Karen L. Beemon Figure 1 . Dr. Beemon is Professor and Chair of the Biology Department Johns Hopkins University. Dr. Beemon received her PhD in 1974 from the University of California Berkeley working with Peter Duesberg. She was a postdoctoral fellow at the Salk Institute working with Tony Hunter. She was among the first to develop and apply molecular techniques to characterize the genomes of RNA viruses describe recombination between viral genomes characterize sarcoma-specific sequences and perform structurefunction analysis of Src proteins.
