Stephan Grzesiek has been elected as a Fellow by the International Society of Magnetic Resonance (ISMAR). The ISMAR Council has established a Fellowship to identify the highest achievers in magnetic resonance. An ISMAR Fellowship is associated with responsibility and advocacy for the NMR community.

In 2009, six new fellows were elected on the basis of their contribution to the field of NMR, among them is Stephan Grzesiek. There are currently 99 ISMAR Fellows.

Stephan Grzesiek received a PhD in physics from the Freie Universität Berlin in 1988. During postdoctoral stays at Hoffmann-LaRoche, Basel (1989-1991) and with Ad Bax, NIH (1991-1996) he discovered the beauty of biomolecular NMR, which yields unique information on biological systems by the application of sophisticated spin physics. He was appointed Professor at the University of Düsseldorf in 1997 and joined the Biozentrum Basel as an Ordinarius for Structural Biology in 1999.

He has contributed to the development of fast methods for heteronuclear protein assignment and to the direct detection of biomolecular hydrogen bonds by scalar couplings. Current research focuses on the development and application of solution NMR methods to study biomolecular structure, dynamics, and function with a special emphasis on disease-related systems and protein folding.

His work has been recognized by several international awards. He is presently also an elected member of the Swiss National Science Council.

ISMAR is a society devoted to the advancement of magnetic resonance and its applications. Its main public function is in piloting the organization of an international meeting, at present triennial. The current 2010 17th ISMAR meeting is being held from July 4-9 in Florence as the World Wide Magnetic Resonance Conference (http://www.cerm.unifi.it/wwmr2010) in conjunction with the European Euromar Conference. This is one of the largest such meetings, and the only one of its size that brings together magnetic resonance practitioners from many countries and from all domains, including NMR, NQR, ESR, MRI, ICR and aspects of coherent optics.
