Jennifer Van Eyk, PhD, director of the Advanced Clinical Biosystems Research Institute<\/a> in the Smidt Heart Institute<\/a> at Cedars-Sinai has been honored by two national organizations for her excellence and leadership in the field of biomedicine: the United States Human Proteome Organization (US HUPO) and Northeastern University\u2019s Barnett Institute.<\/h4>\n

For more than 25 years, Van Eyk\u2019s work has focused on clinical proteomics, the study of the structure and function of proteins within the body. Her research also is aimed at understanding how disease alters proteins differently in women with heart disease than men with heart disease.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy team\u2019s mission is to move our discoveries through the science pipeline and into the hands of clinicians to create better outcomes for patients,\u201d said Van Eyk, the Erika J. Glazer Chair in Women\u2019s Heart Health at Cedars-Sinai. \u201cIt\u2019s an honor to have our work recognized by these prestigious organizations.\u201d<\/p>\n

The proteomics organization awarded Van Eyk the Catherine E. Costello Award for Exemplary Achievements in Proteomics, which recognizes a researcher who has made significant discoveries and accomplished scientific achievements. Van Eyk will be honored at the organization\u2019s annual conference in Portland, Oregon, in March.<\/p>\n

Van Eyk also has been awarded the biennial Karger Medal from the Barnett Institute at Northeastern University for her outstanding achievements in bioanalytical chemistry.<\/p>\n

\u201cDr. Van Eyk is an international leader in this field,\u201d said Eduardo Marb\u00e1n, MD, PhD, executive director of the Smidt Heart Institute. \u201cThe discoveries coming out of her lab are changing the face of medicine. She richly deserves every recognition for her outstanding work.\u201d<\/p>\n

During 2023, Van Eyk\u2019s work has received an abundance of honors. Earlier this year, Van Eyk also was recognized with the Distinguished Contribution Award from the Association for Mass Spectrometry and Advances in the Clinical Lab, the President\u2019s Distinguished Lecture Award from the International Society for Heart Research, and a spot on the 2023 Ten Years of Impact Power List by The Analytical Scientist. Most recently, her research lab was included on first lady Jill Biden\u2019s tour of Cedars-Sinai women\u2019s health research.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
