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 2010 recipient will be recognized at the 24th Annual Symposium of The Protein Society in San Diego, California, August 1-5, 2010 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 2011 recipient will be recognized at the IX European Symposium of The Protein Society in Stockholm, Sweden, May 22-26, 2011.

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.

The 2010 recipient will be recognized at the 24th Annual Symposium of The Protein Society in San Diego, California, August 1-5, 2010 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 2011 recipient will be recognized at the IX European Symposium of The Protein Society in Stockholm, Sweden, May 22-26, 2011.

The Stein and Moore Award

The Stein and Moore Award, sponsored by The Protein Society 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 2010 recipient will be recognized at the 24th Annual Symposium of The Protein Society in San Diego, California, August 1-5, 2010 with a session in his/her honor on a topic as it relates to his/her field of study.

The 2011 recipient will be acknowledged at the 25th Annual Symposium of The Protein Society in Boston, Massachusetts, July 23-27, 2011.

 

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 2010 recipient will be recognized at the 24th Annual Symposium of The Protein Society in San Diego, California, August 1-5, 2010 with a session in his/her honor on a topic as it relates to his/her field of study.

The 2011 recipient will be acknowledged at the 25th Annual Symposium of The Protein Society in Boston, Massachusetts, July 23-27, 2011.

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.

TRAVEL AWARDS

The Protein Society is pleased to offer the Protein Science Young Investigator Travel Grants and the Finn Wold Travel Awards to eligible applicants.  Download the PDF APPLICATION form here.

The deadline for submitting an application for the 2010 Travel Award Program is April 14, 2010.

Protein Science Young Investigator Travel Grant Program *

The Protein Society has partnered with Wiley-Blackwell to publish the Society’s monthly flagship journal, Protein Science beginning January 2009.  In support of The Protein Society’s efforts to facilitate the participation of young scientists at its symposia, Wiley-Blackwell has generously sponsored the Protein Science Young Investigator Travel Grant Program.

Finn Wold Travel Award Program*

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 Finn Wold Travel Award program is supported by generous contributors to the Finn Wold Travel Award Fund.  Download the PDF CONTRIBUTION form here.

*Eligible applicants will be considered for a single travel award.
