The world scientific community is rejoicing because Prof. Boris Shraiman has recently won the Max Delbrück Prize in Biological Physics, the highest prize in the world of science, and it is in recognition of his excellent work in interdisciplinary research at the crossroads of both physics and biology. The award recognizes outstanding scientific achievement and continued contributions to the knowledge on the physical principles of complex biological systems.
The prize is named after Nobel Prize laureate and pioneer of biophysics and molecular biology as a whole, Max Delbrück. The prize is a recognition and encouragement of excellence in biological physics, and it is amongst the most prestigious awards given out, as it is a recognition of work that has incorporated both theoretical physics and biological science.
Prof. Shraiman was chosen based on his pioneering theoretical achievements that have completely transformed the perception of scientists regarding the complexity of biology. His work uses the tools of statistical physics, nonlinear dynamics and mathematical modelling on biological systems providing predictive understanding of processes in cellular organization, population dynamics and evolutionary behaviour.
Prof. Shraiman has established new frameworks that relate physical laws and biological phenomena over the period of his career. This body of work has assisted in defining biological physics as a strong science discipline whereby researchers can now ask biological questions in a quantitatively rigorous and conceptually concise way.
In addition to his success in research, Prof. Shraiman is well known to have promoted interdisciplinary teamwork and mentoring of young scientists. It has been his work that has led to the generation of researchers who work across traditional disciplinary boundaries quickening the pace of innovation in physics, biology, and applied mathematics.
The committee of Max Delbrück Prize noted that Prof. Shraiman has remained impactful to the scientific community at large and contributed to the development of the modern day biological physics. His works remain a source of inspiration to the state of the art research and fascinate academic research and practical science improvement.
The award is a tribute to the increased significance of interdisciplinary science in the solution of basic biological questions. It is with great satisfaction of the international research community that Prof. Boris Shraiman has been awarded the MaxDelbrück Prize in Biological Physics to reward his career of innovation, leadership, and scientific excellence.
