The Biophysical Society of Canada is pleased to announce that Dr. Sarah Rauscher is the recipient of the 2026 Early Career Investigator Award. Congratulations!!
Sarah is recognized for her work in computational biophysics, including rigorous studies of intrinsically disordered proteins, mechanistic insights into protein allostery, and the development of molecular simulation methodologies that expand the scope of biomolecular modelling.
She will deliver an award lecture at the upcoming Biophysical Society of Canada Annual Meeting in Winnipeg (event.fourwaves.com/bsc2026/…). Congratulations again Sarah!
BSC is calling for nomination of our Doctoral Thesis Award. We recognize the achievements of doctoral trainees in biophysics who defended their theses last year with exceptional quality. Submit your nomination by March 14. For more information, visit: biophysicalsociety.ca/awards…
@BiophysCanada is calling for nomination of the BSC Trainee Paper Award (Deadline: Mar. 14). The nominee must be a trainee who is a leading author on a research paper of exceptional quality, originality, and impact in biophysics. For more details, visit: biophysicalsociety.ca/awards…
