Last month, Flatiron Institute postdoc Miro Astore received the Young Biophysicist Award at the 47th Annual Conference of the Australian Society for Biophysics. The award was established in 1995 to encourage Australian Society for Biophysics members who recently joined the field.
Astore is a Flatiron Research Fellow at the Center for Computational Biology (CCB) in the Structural and Molecular Biophysics group, working to uncover the mechanisms of biological temperature sensors. He has a Ph.D. in biophysics from the University of Sydney.
