ISCB Fellowship is an award granted to scientists that the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) judges to have made "outstanding contributions to the fields of computational biology and bioinformatics". ^[1] As of 2025 ^[update] , there are 161 Fellows of the ISCB including Michael Ashburner, Alex Bateman, Bonnie Berger, Helen M. Berman, Steven E. Brenner, ^[2] Janet Kelso, Daphne Koller, Michael Levitt, Sarah Teichmann, Janet Thornton, and Shoshana Wodak. ^[1] See List of Fellows of the International Society for Computational Biology for a comprehensive listing.

Fellows of the International Society for Computational Biology

The first seven fellows of the ISCB were laureates of the ISCB Senior Scientist Award from 2003 to 2009:

1. Webb Miller ^[3]
2. David Haussler ^[4]
3. Temple F. Smith ^[5]
4. Michael Waterman ^[6]
5. Janet Thornton
6. David J. Lipman
7. David Sankoff ^[1]

Since 2009, new fellows have been nominated from the community of ISCB members and voted on annually by a selection committee. New fellows are traditionally inaugurated at the annual Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology (ISMB) conference. ^[7]
