<p>[Princeton Professor of Molecular Biology] Coleen Murphy has been named a 2006 Pew Scholar, one of only 15 scientists in the nation to earn the yearly award. Murphy, an assistant professor of molecular biology since 2005, will receive $240,000 in research funding over the next four years.</p>
<p>The competitive scholarships, awarded to early- to mid-career scientists, are noted for allowing recipients great flexibility in choosing their research agenda. Murphy, who is interested in the genetic aspects of aging, said she intends to continue her attempts to identify the genes that provide the basis for long, high-quality lives.</p>
<p>Princeton and Columbia were the two Ivy League schools with winners this year.</p>
