Isidor Fankuchen Memorial Award

To recognize contributions to crystallographic research by one who is known to be an effective teacher of crystallography.

2010 Winner: David Watkin (Oxford University) is the recipient of the 2010 Isidor Fankuchen Award for his stewardship of the crystallographic software package "CRYSTALS" for x-ray structure refinement and analysis.  The worldwide success of CRYSTALS, used by students, academics and industrial users alike, can be attributed to its ease of use and to Watkin's unceasing support of the software and its users.

Kenneth N. Trueblood Award

To recognize exceptional achievement in computational or chemical crystallography.

2010 Winner: Anthony L. Spek has been selected to receive the 2010 Kenneth Trueblood award for his outstanding contributions to chemical crystallography and crystallographic computing.  He is a Professor in Chemical and Computational Crystallography at Utrecht University Bijvoet Center for Biomolecular Research in the Netherlands.

E. A. Wood Science Writing Award

To a person who has written books or articles that bring science to the attention of a wider audience.

2010 Winner: TBA

Margaret C. Etter Early Career Award

To recognize outstanding achievement and exceptional potential in crystallographic research demonstrated by a scientist at an early stage of their independent career.

2010 Winner: Raymond C. Trievel is an Associate Professor of Biological Chemistry at the University of Michigan where he is investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying protein modifications and their regulatory roles in gene expression and signal transduction.  He will receive the 2010 Margaret C. Etter Early Career Award for his achievements in elucidating the substrate specificity and catalytic mechanism of histone methyltransferases in the short time that he has been an independent researcher.
