Call for Nominations for Biochemical Society Awards

Medals and Lectures

The Awards Committee of the Biochemical Society is seeking nominations for its Medal Lectures for 2003. These prestigious awards recognise excellence in the fields of biochemistry across different stages of science careers. The following Medallists and Lecturers will be selected during 2002 for award and presentation in 2003:

Colworth Medal
The Novartis Medal and Prize (formerly Ciba)
Keilin Memorial Lecture
The Jubilee Lecture

Full details are available on the Biochemical Society website at:

The Awards Committee stresses that it is essential that, in nominating an individual, you include the following:
– a letter from the nominator which summarises the nominee`s principle achievements and clearly describes the context in which these meet the criteria for that award
– the scientist`s current CV and list of relevant publications. The 10 most significant (5 in the case of the Colworth Medal) publications should be highlighted
– just two supporting letters from eminent colleagues describing the area of work undertaken and highlighting the nominees` achievements in relation to the criteria.

For awards with age limits the Committee will exercise considerable discretion when considering nominees with significant breaks in their careers.

The closing date for nominations is: Friday 24 May 2002
