There’s one week left to submit your nominations for the 2026 ISCB Awards

 

Each year, ISCB awards shine a light on the remarkable work being done across our community. They honor the researchers, mentors, innovators, and leaders whose contributions strengthen and advance the field of computational biology. 

As the deadline approaches, we invite you to reflect on the colleagues, collaborators, and mentors whose work deserves recognition, and consider them for one of the four annual ISCB Awards:

ISCB Accomplishments by a Senior Scientist Award
Honors a scientist more than two decades post-degree whose long-standing leadership and research have made major contributions to the field.

ISCB Innovator Award
Recognizes a leading scientist 10–20 years post-degree (or equivalent experience) whose work demonstrates consistent, outstanding contributions and forward-thinking innovation in computational biology.

ISCB Outstanding Service Award
Celebrates exceptional service, leadership, mentoring, or community contributions that have meaningfully strengthened the computational biology community.

ISCB Overton Prize
Recognizes an early- to mid-career scientist who has already made a significant contribution to computational biology.

 

If someone in your community has inspired you, supported your work, or helped advance the field through their leadership, creativity, or service, we encourage you to submit a nomination

Submission Deadline: Monday, December 8, 2025
