Fellows Nomination

About ASCB Fellows

Election as a Fellow of ASCB is an honor bestowed upon ASCB members by their peers. Fellows are recognized for their meritorious efforts to advance cell biology and/or its applications, and for their service to the Society. Successful nominees will be scientists who have had a significant and sustained impact on one of the mission areas of ASCB: advancing scientific discovery, advocating sound research policies, improving education, promoting professional development, or increasing diversity in the scientific workforce.

New Fellows will receive a plaque, lapel pin, and be recognized during Cell Bio 2023, an ASCB|EMBO Meeting, and through the ASCB Newsletter and website.
