Research at UW FHL leads to Nobel Prizeposted 10/09/2008 GFP was first observed in 1961- 1962, by Dr. Shimomura at UW Friday Harbor Laboratories. Much of his research on GFP took place at Friday Harbor Laboratories. Since then, the protein has become one of the most important tools in contemporary bioscience, the foundation said. Using GFP, researchers have developed ways to watch processes that were previously invisible, like the development of nerve cells or how cancer cells spread. In 2004, during its Centennial year celebrations, Friday Harbor Laboratories hosted an international symposium on 'Calcium-Regulated Photoproteins and Green-Fluorescent Proteins' honoring Dr. Shimomura. In attendance and presenting papers were his co-Nobel Prize winners, Martin Chalfie and Roger Tsien . "I started the study of the Aequorea bioluminescence in 1961 with Dr. Frank Johnson, at the Friday Harbor Laboratory, University of Washington, assisted in various ways by Dr. Robert Fernald, Director of the Laboratory" said Dr. Shimomura in his presentation at the symposium.
