Alternatieve media zijn broodnodig, tijd om ze serieus te nemen  - Chris Aalberts

we are very happy to relay that the CSA Trust has decided to award the Mike Lynch award to Prof. Val Gillet who will be giving a keynote lecture at our #ICCS2025 opening session https://csa-trust.org/2025/05/23/mike-lynch-award-2025-val-gillet/

Mike Lynch Award 2025: Val Gillet

In recognition of her pioneering research in chemical structure analysis, visionary educational leadership, and enduring dedication to advancing scientific collaboration, Professor Val Gillet has been awarded the 2025 Mike Lynch Award by the Trustees of the CSA Trust. The Trustees are proud to honor Professor Gillet for her outstanding and innovative contributions to the field of Chemoinformatics. Her influential body of work – widely cited and highly regarded – has shaped the Chemoinformatics landscape and driven progress in pharmaceutical research and development. In parallel with her research achievements, Professor Gillet has played a central role in building and refining the Chemoinformatics educational program at the University of Sheffield. Under her supervision, the program has earned international recognition as a hub of excellence for research and training. She is also co-author of a foundational textbook that remains a key reference in the field. Beyond her academic accomplishments, Professor Gillet has been instrumental in fostering collaboration and visibility within Chemoinformatics. Her longstanding support of the Cheminformatics Conference in Sheffield and the International Conference on Chemical Structures in Noordwijkerhout has helped elevate them to the field’s most prominent international gatherings. Val Gillet is a Professor of Chemoinformatics at the University of Sheffield, where she leads the Chemoinformatics Research Group within School of Information, Journalism and Communication. https://www.linkedin.com/in/val-gillet-15a60429/ https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/ijc/people/val-gillet The CSA Trust is an internationally recognized, registered charity that promotes education, research, and development in fields related to chemical structures and cheminformatics. ### Share this: * Click to share on X (Opens in new window) X * Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook * Like Loading... ### _Related_
