Dr. Wiseman is a renowned fluorescence microscopy expert, whose image correlation techniques have had tremendous impact in cell biology and biophysics by enabling high-resolution mapping of protein dynamics in living cells.
BSC Fellows are scientists who have made exceptional contributions to biophysics. Fellows are chosen by the executive based on a recommendation from the awards committee after nominations by BSC members.
NOMINATION DEADLINE: JUNE 30
BSC Fellows are principle investigators who have made exceptional contributions to biophysics. Fellows are chosen by the executive based on a recommendation from the awards committee after nominations by BSC members.
Eligibility: We solicit nominations for Fellows of the Biophysical Society of Canada. All members of the Biophysical Society of Canada who are in good standing are welcome to submit a nomination of deserving candidates for the award by e-mailing a nomination package to our Awards Committee. Nominees for Fellows must be Canadian or working in Canada.
Nomination Process: Complete nomination packages must be sent to Trushar Patel. Only nominations received by the deadline will be reviewed and ranked through votes by the executives of the Biophysical Society of Canada. Nominations in all areas of biophysics are welcome. The nomination package must include:
Dr. Wiseman is a renowned fluorescence microscopy expert, whose image correlation techniques have had tremendous impact in cell biology and biophysics by enabling high-resolution mapping of protein dynamics in living cells.
Dr. Woodside is a world-renowned single-molecule force spectroscopy expert, whose research has advanced our fundamental understanding of nucleic acid and protein folding, and their roles in diseases
Dr. Julie Forman-Kay is a pioneer in elucidating the relationships between structure, dynamics and function of intrinsically disordered proteins and biomolecular phase separation.
Dr. Chan has made major contributions to the field of protein folding and continues to design and apply computational tools to a wide variety of biophysical problems.
Dr. Strynadka’s studies define the structural mechanisms underlying microbial diseases.
Dr. Roux’s studies provide a computational roadmap toward an understanding of biological systems.
Prof. Kay has made transformative contributions to the field of biomolecular nuclear magnetic resonance
Dr. Epand’s main scientific interest is the relationship between the properties of lipid membranes and their biological function.
Dr. Smith’s main scientific interest is the application of magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy to non-invasive medical diagnoses.
The Biophysical Society of Canada has been connecting biophysicists across Canada since 1985 through annual meetings, events, awards and programs to develop, grow and enrich biophysics research worldwide.
