Dr. Price is a member of the Board of Trustees of the Health and Environmental Sciences Institute (HESI) and on the Board of Advisors for the American Cancer Society (WA). He is also the chair of the NIH study section on Modeling and Analysis of Biological Systems (MABS).
Dr. Price has won numerous awards for his work, including an American Cancer Society Postdoctoral Fellowship, a Howard Temin Pathway to Independence Award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), a National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER award, a young investigator award from the Roy J. Carver Charitable Trust, and being named as one of the inaugural “Tomorrow’s PIs” by Genome Technology. He was also named as a Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar, received the 2016 Grace A. Goldsmith Award for his work pioneering scientific wellness, and was selected as an Emerging Leaders in Health and Medicine Scholar by the National Academy of Medicine.
Dr. Price also serves on numerous scientific advisory boards including for Roche (personalized healthcare division), Providence St. Joseph Health, Sera Prognostics, Trelys, Basepaws, Navican, Mexico’s National Institute for Genomic Medicine (INMEGEN), the Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Thought Leaders Council, and the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Biosustainability. Dr. Price served on the National Academy of Medicine committee to set best practice guidelines for developing omics-based tests in clinical trials from 2010-2012. He has served on the editorial boards of several scientific journals, including Cell Systems, Science Translational Medicine, BMC Systems Biology, Industrial Biotechnology, Biotechnology Journal, and was previously a Deputy Editor of PLOS Computational Biology.
