DeLano Award for Computational Biosciences from the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB)

The DeLano Award was established in memory of Warren L. DeLano, a bioinformatician and advocate for open-source practices in science. The award honors investigators who have made significant contributions to the development or application of computational technologies in the life sciences. It also recognizes innovative approaches that advance the ability to understand and visualize complex biological systems.

Dunbrack is being recognized for his pioneering work in the analysis and prediction of protein structures, which are central to understanding biological mechanisms and developing new therapies. His research group has developed computational models and statistical approaches that allow scientists to predict how proteins fold, interact, and function. These tools have been instrumental in advancing cancer biology research at Fox Chase and beyond.
