ROCKVILLE, MD – The Biophysical Society is pleased to announce that G. Marius Clore, PhD, NIH Distinguished Investigator, Chief, Protein Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Section, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), National Institutes of Health (NIH), USA has been named the recipient of the 2020 Innovation Award. Clore will be honored at the Society’s 64th Annual Meeting at the San Diego Convention Center in California, February 15-19, 2020.
Clore is being recognized for his seminal contributions to the development of NMR for determining three-dimensional structures of macromolecules in solution, and his work on the development of paramagnetic and relaxation-based NMR experiments to characterize rare, transient, and heretofore invisible states of macromolecules. The BPS Innovation Award recognizes a BPS member who advances our fundamental understanding of biological systems through the development of novel theory, models, concepts, techniques, or applications.
“Marius’ innovative research work using NMR has advanced our fundamental understanding of the three-dimensional structures and states of macromolecules,” said BPS President Dave Piston, Washington University in St. Louis. “We are proud to recognize his achievement and are eager to see the future innovations he achieves throughout his career.”
