The International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) each year recognizes the achievements of an early to mid-career scientist with the Overton Prize. This prize honors the untimely death of Dr. G. Christian Overton, an admired computational biologist and founding ISCB Board member. Winners of the Overton Prize are independent investigators who are in the early to middle phases of their careers and are selected because of their significant contributions to computational biology through research, teaching, and service. ISCB is pleased to recognize Dr. Christoph Bock, Principal Investigator at the CeMM Research Center for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna, Austria, as the 2017 winner of the Overton Prize. Bock will be presenting a keynote presentation at the 2017 International Conference on Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology/European Conference on Computational Biology (ISMB/ECCB) in Prague, Czech Republic being held during July 21-25, 2017.
国际计算生物学学会(ISCB)每年都会通过奥弗顿奖表彰一位处于职业生涯早期至中期的科学家的成就。该奖项是为了纪念令人敬仰的计算生物学家、ISCB创始董事会成员G. 克里斯蒂安·奥弗顿博士的英年早逝。奥弗顿奖的获得者是处于职业生涯早期至中期的独立研究者,他们因在研究、教学和服务方面对计算生物学做出的重大贡献而被选中。ISCB很高兴地认可奥地利维也纳奥地利科学院CeMM分子医学研究中心的首席研究员克里斯托夫·博克博士为2017年奥弗顿奖的获得者。博克将于2017年7月21日至25日在捷克共和国布拉格举行的2017年国际分子生物学智能系统会议/欧洲计算生物学会议(ISMB/ECCB)上发表主题演讲。
