Ronald R. Breaker Field: Biology
Packard Fellowship award year: 1998
onald Breaker works on the creation of enzymes that do not exist in nature. He is pioneering new techniques, including ``modular rational design'' and test-tube evolution, to create these enzymes, and perhaps to resurrect enzymes that have been extinct for nearly four billion years.

Phillip Ihinger Field: Geology
Packard Fellowship award year: 1995
Research Interests
y research explores the fundamental properties of silicate liquids and considers their relationship to the evolution of magmas with the earth. Additionally, I am pursuing the relationship of hot spot volcanism to plate tectonics, mantle convection, and the chemical structure of the mantle.

Anna W. Roe Field: Biology
Packard Fellowship award year: 1998
Research Interests
nna Roe researches high resolution optical imaging of brain activity in primates. She studies perceptual and cognitive function, utilizing a high spatial resolution brain-imaging method. She works with trained monkeys while they are awake and alert, in collaboration with other investigators, to link cerebral cortex modules directly with visual perception and working memory.
