| The Overton Prize is an annual prize is awarded for outstanding accomplishment to a scientist in the early to mid stage of his or her career who has already made a significant contribution to the field of computational biology either through research, education, service, or a combination of the three. The prize was established by the International Society for Computational Biology in memory of G. Christian Overton, a major contributor to the field of bioinformatics and member of the ISCB Board of Directors who died unexpectedly in 2000. The Overton Prize is traditionally awarded at the Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology conference. |

Aviv Regev(For outstanding accomplishment to a scientist in the early to mid stage of his or her career.) |
Ewan Birney(In honour of his advocacy of open source bioinformatics, and his generous contributions to the BioPerl community. Perhaps even more important to biology is his leadership of the Ensembl genome annotation project, providing rapid and accurate computational annotations for eukaryotic genomes.) |
Uri Alon(For outstanding accomplishment by a scientist in the early to mid stage of his or her career.) |
David Baker(For his work in applying computational science to drug design, genetics, and health care, and, in particular, the Rosetta algorithm, which predicts protein structure) |
Christopher Burge(For his work on identifying and modeling genes in higher eukaryotic organisms) |
