The Biophysical Society is accepting nominations for its 2019 awards now through May 1, 2018. There are three newly established awards: The BPS Innovation Award, The BPS Award in the Biophysics of Health and Disease, and The Ignacio “Nacho” Tinoco Award of the Biophysical Society. The BPS Innovation Award will be presented to a BPS member who advances our fundamental understanding of biological systems through the development of novel theory, models, concepts, techniques, or applications. The BPS Award in the Biophysics of Health and Disease will honor a BPS member who has made a significant contribution to understanding the fundamental cause or pathogenesis of disease, or to enabling the treatment or prevention of a disease. The Ignacio “Nacho” Tinoco Award of the Biophysical Society recognizes the scientific contributions, work, and life of an outstanding biophysical chemist, educator, and mentor. It is intended to acknowledge meritorious investigators who make fundamental and/or seminal contributions to the physical chemistry of biopolymers and/or who actively promote and sustain a collaborative, inclusive, and engaging research environment in the field.
