Currently, Tarr Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology Markus Meister represents the nascent systems neuroscience initiative, which Washington University professors Joshua R. Sanes and Jeffrey W. Litchman will direct next year. Melton represents the Harvard Stem Cell Institute, which he began to co-direct with Associate Professor of Medicine David T. Scadden this year.

The victims, many of whom were tortured and made to lie in open sewers before being shot, were supporters of then Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, who had been ousted in a 1991 military coup. U.S. troops restored Aristide...
