Elizabeth Rhoades, Associate Professor of Chemistry, has been named the 2019 Michael and Kate Bárány Award winner by the Biophysical Society (BPS).

She is being honored for her outstanding experimental abilities and deep insights into structure-function relations in disordered systems, providing reliable structural information on how conditions, modifications, and interactions alter their conformational landscapes.

The BPS grants the Michael and Kate Bárány Award to early-career academics who have made an outstanding contribution to biophysics.

Angela Gronenborn, BPS President, says, “Liz has already significantly contributed to our fundamental understanding of structure-function relations in disordered systems and we are excited to follow her continued growth as a scientist.”
