The International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) Fellows program was created to honor members who have distinguished themselves through outstanding contributions to the fields of computational biology and bioinformatics. Steven Brenner, a Professor in Plant and Microbial Biology and Chair of the Computational Biology Graduate Group, was one of thirteen nominees elected as this year’s newest Fellows. The 2016 Fellows will be recognized during the 2016 Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology (ISMB) conference in Orlando, Florida.
