ISCB ANNUAL AWARDS

ISCB awards include the Overton Prize and the Accomplishment by a Senior Scientist Award. The Overton Prize is awarded to an early career scientist and the Accomplishment by a Senior Scientist Award is in recognition of highly significant, long term career achievement. These are the most prestigious international awards designated exclusively to researchers in the field of computational biology/bioinformatics, and winners of both awards deliver keynote talks at ISCB’s annual meeting, ISMB (ISMB 2010 will be held in Boston, USA, July 11-13). Nominations from all regions of the world are submitted annually, and the selection of award winners is made by an international panel of current and ISCB past board members.

The 2009 nominations period is now closed. Nominations for the 2011 period will be accepted in October and November of 2010.
