Society Awards: Agnes Pockels Award in Lipids and Membrane Biophysics Grant

The Society Awards: Agnes Pockels Award in Lipids and Membrane Biophysics recognizes researchers for their significant contributions to the field of lipids and membrane biophysics. The award is open to nominees who have made impactful advancements in understanding membrane mechanics, provided they have not previously received this award. The Biophysical Society encourages nominations from its members, highlighting the importance of collaboration in scientific exploration.

NOTE: The deadline represents when the Nomination is due.
What Is Biophysics?
Biophysics is the field that applies the theories and methods of physics to understand how biological systems work.
Biophysics is a vibrant scientific field where scientists from many fields including math, chemistry, physics, engineering, pharmacology, and materials sciences, use their skills to explore and develop new tools for understanding how biology—all life—works.
Through its awards program, the Biophysical Society honors its members and recognizes excellence in biophysics. The Society offers awards in sixteen different categories.
Nominations for the awards are solicited and evaluated by the Biophysical Society Awards Committee. Society members are encouraged to nominate candidates by submitting a nomination application through the online nomination site.
The Society Awards now accept self-nominations. The Fellows distinction and the Outstanding Doctoral Research in Biophysics Award, however, are not eligible for self-nomination. Nominees may be affiliated with non-academic institutions, however, please note that Society membership is a requirement for the nominator, nominee, and author of one of the two letters of support.
