DeLano Award for Computational Biosciences

The DeLano Award for Computational Biosciences is a prize in the field of computational biology. It is awarded annually for "the most accessible and innovative development or application of computer technology to enhance research in the life sciences at the molecular level".[1]

DeLano Award for Computational Biosciences
Awarded for“the most accessible and innovative development or application of computer technology to enhance research in the life sciences at the molecular level”
Sponsored byAmerican Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB)

The prize was established by the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) in memory of Warren Lyford DeLano, an American bioinformatician. DeLano developed the PyMOL open source molecular viewer software and was an advocate for the increased adoption of open source practices in the sciences. DeLano died unexpectedly in 2009.[2]

Laureates include the Nobel Prize winner Michael Levitt, who was awarded the prize in 2014 for his work in computational bioscience, including the Rosetta protein-modelling software.[3]

Laureates
gollark: The UK does those, I think, and seems to be doing fine lawyer and doctor-wise.
gollark: A convincing explanation I read of the everyone-has-to-go-to-college thing is that college degrees work as a signal to employers that you have some basic competence at listening independently, doing things for delayed gain later, sort of thing, more than providing any massively work-relevant skills, and it apparently got easier/more popular to get a degree over time, so the *lack* of one works as a signal that you *lack* those basic skills.
gollark: No idea.
gollark: Throwing money at a somewhat broken system can just perpetuate the somewhat broken system and cost a lot.
gollark: Oh, 30.
