To say that it was a good summer for Julian Gomez-Cambronero, Ph.D., would be an understatement. The professor of biochemistry and molecular biology began the season by successfully organizing an international academic conference and capped it off with a prestigious award in his hometown of Manzanares in the famed La Mancha region of Spain.<\/p>\n

Cambronero, a Brage Golding Distinguished Professor Award recipient from last year, received the \u201cHijo Predilecto de la Ciudad\u201d award. Cambronero said the award translates to English as the Predilect Son from the City, or \u201cfavorite son.\u201d The award was voted on unanimously by the city council and presented by the mayor of Manzanares.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel very good about it because this was very personal for me here in the town where I was born,\u201d said Cambronero, who was also joined by his parents, wife and children at the ceremony.<\/p>\n

A writer and a sculptor also from the town were recognized with the same award. It is given once every four years to individuals who have demonstrated international special achievements in the arts and sciences. Cambronero was recognized for scientific achievement as well as having created a large model of the solar system in a local park in Manzanares.<\/p>\n

In 2014, Cambronero organized a Federation for American Scientists for Experimental Biology (FASEB) international research conference.<\/p><\/div>\n

The recognition capped a busy summer for Cambronero, who also organized the Federation for American Scientists for Experimental Biology (FASEB) international conference, which was themed “Phospholipid Cell Signaling and Metabolism in Inflammation in Cancer.”<\/p>\n

\u201cThese conferences are highly regarded in the scientific community in part because presentations and discussion topics must be about current, mostly unpublished research,\u201d said Cambronero, who made news last year when he discovered a protein that slows tumor growth and metastasis in breast cancer.<\/p>\n

Each summer, a series of science research conferences are sponsored by FASEB, which allow experimental biologists to meet and explore new approaches to current research areas.<\/p>\n

Strict rules of the conference directed presenters to share work that is largely unpublished and therefore cutting edge. No recordings or transcripts are allowed to take place at the conference. Cambronero did share topics of particular interest that included:<\/p>\n
