The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology issued 12 awards to top scientists, including Brian Kuhlman, PhD, professor of biochemistry and biophysics.
The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology last week named a dozen scientists the winners of its annual awards. The winners were nominated by colleagues and other leaders in their fields for making significant contributions to biochemistry and molecular biology and the training of emerging scientists.
The recipients will give talks about their work at the society鈥檚 2019 annual meeting, which will be held in conjunction with the Experimental Biology conference April 6鈥�9, 2019 in Orlando.
, PhD, professor of biochemistry and biophysics at the 黑料网 and member of the 黑料网 Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, won the DeLano Award for Computational Biosciences. The award was established by family, friends, and colleagues to honor the legacy of Warren L. DeLano, the creator of the widely used PyMOL open-source molecular viewer. The award, which includes a $3,000 cash prize, is given to a scientist for the most accessible and innovative development or application of computer technology to enhance research in the life sciences at the molecular level.
