Duke Professor Robert Lefkowitz will receive the Nobel Prize in Chemistry at 10:30 a.m, Monday, and members of the Duke community can watch it live online or broadcast in the Schiciano Auditorium A & B, CIEMAS Building.  The Duke University Office of News and Communications will sponsor the viewing party.

For those who can't attend the viewing party, the ceremony will be streamed live on the Nobel Prize website.

The awards ceremony will end a busy weekend of activity for Lefkowitz and co-winner Brian Kobilka.  On Saturday, they presented the official Nobel lecture, with Lefkowitz discussing the history of the search for the G-protein receptor and Kobilka reporting on the latest findings of the receptor's structure.
