Congratulations to Derek Smith and the team in the Centre for Pathogen Evolution who, on behalf of the University of Cambridge, have been given this award for their work on antigenic cartography, which is used to describe and predict the evolution of viruses such as influenza and SARS-CoV-2. The mission of the IEEE (the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), the world’s largest technical professional association with almost 300,000 members, is to advance technology for the benefit of humanity.
