2018 Fellow
Dr. Strynadka's studies define the structural mechanisms underlying microbial diseases.
Dr. Benoit Roux
2017 Fellow
Dr. Roux’s studies provide a computational roadmap toward an understanding of biological systems.
Dr. Lewis E. Kay
2016 Fellow
Dr. Kay has made transformative contributions to the field of biomolecular nuclear magnetic resonance.
Dr. Richard M. Epand
2015 Fellow
Dr. Epand’s is a leader in studying the relationship between the properties of lipid membranes and their biological function.
Dr. Ian C. P. Smith
2015 Fellow
Dr. Smith has performed pioneering research in the application of MRI and spectroscopy to non-invasive medical diagnoses.
Call for Nominations - Biophysical Society of Canada Awards
Submission Deadline: June 30th (Fellows) & January 15 (Service Award) of each calendar year.
The Biophysical Society of Canada solicits nominations for Fellows of the Biophysical Society of Canada and for the Michèle Auger Award for Exceptional Service to 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 either award by e-mailing a nomination package to Giuseppe Melacini.
For fellows, the nomination package must include:
- A one page cover letter from the nominator
- A current CV of the nominee
- Two supporting letters from arms-length biophysicists different from the nominator
- A nomination letter outlining the contributions of the nominee to the BSC
Complete nomination packages received by June 30th (Fellows) & January 15th (Service Award) will be reviewed and ranked through votes by the executives of the Biophysical Society of Canada. Nomination in all areas of biophysics and biophysical chemistry are welcome. Award winners are recognized at the Annual meeting of the Biophysical Society of Canada. We look forward to receiving your nominations.
Dr. Giuseppe Melacini
