Bonnie Berger, a professor of applied mathematics and computer
science at MIT and a principal investigator at the Computer
Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL), has been named
a 2012 fellow of the International Society for Computational
Biology (ISCB). The ISCB fellows program honors members that
have distinguished themselves through outstanding contributions
to the fields of computational biology and bioinformatics.
"ISCB fellows represent the absolute pillars of our community,”
said Burkhard Rost, president of the ISCB. "I can imagine that
the ISCB fellows will become an active group of the society,
serving as a pool of experts that can help drive the scientific
excellence of our field.”  At CSAIL, Berger leads the
Computation and Biology Group and is a member of the Theory of
Computation Group. Berger’s recent work focuses on designing
algorithms to gain biological insights from advances in
automated data collection and the subsequent large data sets
drawn from them. She works on a diverse set
