The Michael and Kate Bárány Award for Young Investigators from the Biophysical Society in Rockville, Maryland, "recognizes an outstanding contribution to biophysics by a person who has not achieved the rank of full professor."[1] The award was established in 1992 as the Young Investigator Award and renamed in 1998, when it was endowed by Michael Bárány[2] and Kate Bárány.[3][4] The Báránys were survivors of The Holocaust who went on to become leading researchers in muscle contraction.[2][3]
