William G. Kaelin Jr., MD, received the 2014 Steven C. Beering Award for Outstanding Achievement in Biomedical Science, presented annually by the Indiana University School of Medicine.

Kaelin serves as a professor in the department of medicine at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute at Harvard Medical School and as associate director for basic science at the Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center. His research seeks to understand how mutations affecting tumor-suppressor genes cause cancer, with a goal of laying a foundation for new anticancer therapies.

The award was named in honor of Steven C. Beering, MD, who served as dean of the IU School of Medicine from 1974 to 1983. He served as president of Purdue University from 1983 to 2000.
