The Biophysical Society is delighted to announce its 2011
Society Fellows.



Fellows are chosen based on their demonstrated excellence in
science, contributions to the expansion of the field of biophysics, and support of
the Biophysical Society. The Fellows will be honored at the Awards Ceremony
during the Biophysical Society's 55th Annual Meeting on Monday March 7, 2011
at the Baltimore Convention Center in Baltimore, Maryland.



The Fellows are:
Valerie Daggett, University of Washington, for her technical innovations and

bilayers with proteins;
Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz, NIH, for her groundbreaking advances in optical
highlighter fluorescent protein technology and impact on the field of
superresolution microscopy;
Ruth Nussinov, NIH, for her extraordinary contributions to advances in
computational biology on both nucleic acids and proteins;
