The Protein Society Awards
The
Carl Brändén Award
In
the tradition of the late Carl Brändén,
pioneer in structural biology, co-author of the seminal text, Introduction
to Protein Structure, and leader of the world-class synchrotron facility
at Grenoble, the Carl Brändén
Award, sponsored by Rigaku Corporation, is given to an outstanding protein
scientist who has also made exceptional contributions in the areas of
education and/or service to the science.
The 2008 recipient
will be recognized at the 22nd Annual Symposium of The Protein Society
by presenting a plenary lecture on the structure and function of protein
science as it relates to his/her field of study. The award is granted
annually alternating between the U.S. and European meetings.
The Dorothy
Crowfoot Hodgkin Award
The Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin Award,
sponsored by Genentech, is granted in recognition of exceptional
contributions in protein science, which profoundly influence our
understanding of biology.
This award will be bestowed at the
22nd Annual Symposium of The Protein Society. The 2008 recipient will
present a plenary lecture on the structure and function of protein science
as it relates to his/her field of study. The award is granted annually
alternating between the U.S. and European meetings.
The Stein and Moore Award
The Stein and Moore Award, sponsored by The Merck Company Foundation and
named for Nobel Laureates Dr. William Stein and Dr. Stanford Moore, venerates
their contribution to understanding the connection between chemical structure
and catalytic activity of the active center of the ribonuclease molecule.
To that end, recipients of the Stein and Moore award are recognized for
their contributions to the highest level of the study of proteins.
The 2008 recipient will be
acknowledged at the 22nd Annual Symposium of The Protein Society with a
session in his/her honor on the structure and function of protein science as
it relates to his/her field of study.
The Hans Neurath Award
The Hans Neurath Award, sponsored by the Hans Neurath Foundation, recognizes
an individual who has made a recent contribution of unusual merit to basic
research in the field of protein science, including but not restricted
to the chemistry, design, folding, structure, or biological function of
proteins.
The Christian B. Anfinsen Award
The Christian B. Anfinsen Award, sponsored by the Aviv Family Foundation,
recognizes significant technical achievements in the field of protein
science.
The Emil Thomas Kaiser Award
The Emil Thomas Kaiser Award, sponsored by The Protein Society,
recognizes a recent, highly significant contribution in applying chemistry
to the study of proteins.
The Irving Sigal Young Investigator Award
The Irving Sigal Young Investigator Award, sponsored by the Merck
Research Laboratories, is an award that recognizes an important
contribution to the study of proteins by a scientist who is in the early stages of an
independent career. Candidates are generally not more than 40
years of age.
The Finn Wold Travel Awards
Finn Wold was one of the founders and early Presidents of The Protein
Society. He was a very creative individual who was very supportive of
students. In 1997, The Protein Society named the student travel awards
in his honor. The Society has granted the awards to students for travel
to the U.S. symposia of The Protein Society since 1997.
The deadline for submitting
an application for a 2007 Finn Wold Travel Award was April 15,
2007.
