Allan Kuchinsky IWBDA Scholarship

The Bio-Design Automation Consortium annually awards the "Allan Kuchinsky International Workshop on Bio-Design Automation Scholarship". Allan was a tremendous supporter of both synthetic biology as well as design automation. His contributions to projects such as Cytoscape and Eugene as well as numerous Agilent efforts was crucial in helping academic and industrial researchers develop state-of-the-art technologies and tools to lay the foundation for this field. This scholarship in some small measure attempts to recognize his tireless efforts by highlighting a student who shares Allan's vision for the field. This scholarship provides financial support for one graduate student, post doc, or early career researcher to attend IWBDA.
