Sloan Fellowship Awards in Computational Molecular Biology

Expertise in computational biology and bioinformatics is needed urgently to exploit the biological information being generated by genome and structural biology programs for application in healthcare and the environment. To meet this need, DOE and the Sloan Foundation support up to ten postdoctoral fellowships annually to catalyze career transitions from physics, mathematics, computer science, chemistry, and related fields. These fellowships give young scientists an intensive 2-year postdoctoral opportunity in an appropriate molecular biology laboratory.

The 1996 and 1997 winners are listed below with the Ph.D. field of study and institution, postdoctoral institution, and sponsoring senior scientist.
