ASCB Names 18 Members as Its 2020 Fellows Cohort

The ASCB Council has named the 2020 cohort of Fellows, ASCB members selected for their lifetime achievements in advancing cell biology. Eighteen members were chosen for their outstanding contributions to the field of cell biology and to the community of cell biologists through their service to the Society. The ASCB Fellows program is committed to recognizing the breadth and diversity of the Society’s membership. Toward this end, Fellows are nominated by their peers or through self-nomination, followed by evaluation and selection by a Fellows Nomination Review Committee. The list of selected Fellow nominees is reviewed and approved by the ASCB Council. The ASCB Fellows will be formally recognized at Cell Bio Virtual 2020–An Online ASCB|EMBO Meeting in December.
