2025 recipient: Kevin Myers
Myers, a bioinformatics scientist and lead of the computational biology group at the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center, is the first recipient of a new Service and Impact award for the support he provides fellow researchers. Myers and his team help other GLBRC scientists use computational tools to answer questions about microbes and microbial communities in support of the center’s mission to advance fuels and bio-products made from inedible plants.
