The DOE Office of Science selects Sam Hazen for Early Career Research Award

TIMBR investigator Samuel P. Hazen of the UMass Biology Department has received a five-year, $750,000 U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Early Career Research grant to study what genetic mechanisms allow certain energy crops to produce more ethanol than others.

Hazen's grant from the DOE's Office of Biological and Environmental Research is one of 65 awarded from approximately 1,150 applications across the country.

Sam Hazen Shares 2011 Award from the Dept. of Energy Systems Biology for Energy and the Environment

Sam Hazen received an award from the DOE to research the use of genomics and genetics in a model grass system to identify genes involved in light perception and signaling to increase the yield and improve the composition of bioenergy grasses. The project aims to provide valuable candidates for manipulation in bioenergy grass crops via targeted breeding or engineering efforts.
