2015 ISCB Overton Prize Awarded to Curtis Huttenhower

The International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) honors the achievements of an earlyto mid-career scientist with the Overton Prize each year. The Overton Prize was instituted to honor the untimely loss of Dr. G. Christian Overton, a respected computational biologist and founding ISCB Board member. Winners of the Overton Prize are independent investigators in the early to middle phases of their careers who are selected because of their significant contributions to computational biology through research, teaching, and service. ISCB is pleased to recognize Dr. Curtis Huttenhower, associate professor of computational biology and bioinformatics at the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health, as the 2015 winner of the Overton Prize. Huttenhower will be presenting a keynote presentation at the 2015 Annual International Conference on Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology/European Conference on Computational Biology (ISMB/ECCB) in Dublin, Ireland, in July 2015.
