The Executive Council of the Cell Stress Society International has established The Alfred Tissières Young Investigator Award. 

The award is named in honor and remembrance of Professor Alfred Tissières, a pioneering investigator in the heat shock and cellular stress response field. Alfred Tissières was known broadly for his support and encouragement of young scientists. Thus it is fitting that this award is for a post-doctoral fellow or assistant professor less than 10 years beyond the attainment of his or her doctoral degree.
