ROCKVILLE, MD – The Biophysical Society is pleased to announce that James A. Glazier, PhD, of Indiana University, Bloomington, has been named the recipient of the 2025 Klaus Schulten and Zaida Luthey-Schulten Computational Biophysics Lecture Award. Glazier will be honored at the Society’s 69th Annual Meeting, being held in Los Angeles, California from February 15-19, 2025.
Glazier will be recognized for his development of algorithms, software, and models describing the emergent multicellular organization of development, homeostasis, and disease.
“I am delighted that the Biophysical Society is recognizing James’s pioneering work the inaugural award for excellence in in computational biophysics” says BPS President Gabriela Popescu of the University of Buffalo. “His work exemplifies the success of applying physics-based computer simulations to understand important scientific and medical problems, including development and infectious diseases.”
About the Award – The Klaus Schulten and Zaida Luthey-Schulten Computational Biophysics Lecture Award, new in 2025, recognizes researchers for their outstanding contributions in computational or theoretical, including analytical theory, aspects of biophysical systems, and service to the BPS or society broadly. This award honors the mathematical, theoretical, and technological innovations of Klaus Schulten and Zaida Luthey-Schulten which led to key discoveries about the motion of individual proteins and nucleic acids, organelles and the whole cell, and their contributions recognized by the Biophysical Society Distinguished Service Award.
