“Quantifying the properties of nonproductive attempts at thermally activated energy-barrier crossing through direct observation”
NOMINATION DEADLINE: FEBRUARY 15
The BSC recognizes the achievements of undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral trainees in biophysics through the Trainee Paper Award (TPA). Recipients are current or recent undergraduate, graduate, or postdoc at a Canadian University, who are leading authors on a research paper of an exceptional quality, originality, and impact in any subfield of biophysics.
“Quantifying the properties of nonproductive attempts at thermally activated energy-barrier crossing through direct observation”
“Huntington S421 phosphorylation increases kinesin and dynein engagement on early endosomes and lysosomes”
“Conformational ensembles of an intrinsically disordered protein consistent with NMR, SAXS, and single-molecule FRET”
“Clusters of bacterial RNA polymerase are biomolecular condensates that assemble through liquid-liquid phase separation”,
Eligibility:
Nomination Process: The TPA nomination must be made by the nominee’s undergraduate, graduate, or postdoctoral supervisor (or co-supervisor). Submit a nomination of deserving candidates for the TPA by emailing a nomination package to the BSC Awards Committee by the deadline. Complete nomination packages must be sent to Trushar Patel, chair of the Awards Committee. 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:
Adjudication & Presentation: The TPA recipients are chosen by the Awards Committee, based on the following selection criteria:
The TPA winners are recognized at the Annual meeting of the Biophysical Society of Canada and are given a prize of $300. Up to two awards per year will be offered. The Biophysical Society of Canada is committed to upholding the principles of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, and will apply these principles to adjudication of this award.
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 Canadian biophysics research.
