The Gregorio Weber Award for Excellence in Fluorescence Theory and Applications is an annual award which honors and recognizes distinguished individuals who have made original and significant contributions to the field of fluorescence.
The award is named after Professor Gregorio Weber, who pioneered developments in the theory and the application of fluorescence techniques in biology and biochemistry. Award recipients are selected from a group nominated by their peers, and all nominees must be senior level researchers with a rank of full professor, lab director or equivalent. Nominations are sent to the President of ISS, who will forward the information to the members of the committee.
Nominations for any given year must be received by October 31 of that year. Alternatively, nominations can be sent to the Chair of the Biological Fluorescence subgroup of the Biophysical Society.
Any nomination received after the October 31 deadline will be considered for the following year. To nominate an individual for the next award, please email a page letter describing their academic professional background, accomplishments and contributions to the field of fluorescence.
The honoree is selected by a committee of five scientists, nominated by ISS, and invited to serve for a three-year period.
