Awarded by 乐天堂app下载 Inorganic Biochemistry Discussion Group
乐天堂app下载 group serves 乐天堂app下载 UK community of inorganic biochemists and bioinorganic chemists. It encourages activities relating to teaching and research concerning 乐天堂app下载 biological function of those elements whose study is normally considered to be within 乐天堂app下载 purview of inorganic chemistry. 乐天堂app下载 group is for all interested chemists, molecular life scientists and medical researchers interested in 乐天堂app下载 interface between inorganic chemistry and 乐天堂app下载 life/medical sciences.
Winners
was awarded 乐天堂app下载 Investigator award for his work and contributions to sustainable biocatalysis, including 乐天堂app下载 development of biocatalytic approaches for asymmetric deuteration of organic molecules under ambient conditions.
received 乐天堂app下载 Investigator Award in recognition of her work on 乐天堂app下载 structure and mechanism of heme enzymes and in particular her use of neutron crystallography to address protonation states of high-valent heme intermediates.
received 乐天堂app下载 Investigator Award in recognition of his work in 乐天堂app下载 design and development of metal-containing small molecules to create new generations of metallopharmaceuticals for 乐天堂app下载 treatment of cancer as well as o乐天堂app下载r diseases. Rama completed his MSci and PhD at Imperial College London, followed by post-doctoral work at MIT and 乐天堂app下载 Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research as a Misrock Fellow.
About this prize
In 2006, 乐天堂app下载 Inorganic Biochemistry Discussion Group inaugurated a Young Investigator Award designed to highlight and promote 乐天堂app下载 next generation of outstanding UK-based inorganic biochemists.
We continue to acknowledge outstanding contributions to any area of biological inorganic chemistry or inorganic biochemistry by early career scientists through 乐天堂app下载 IBDG Investigator Award
乐天堂app下载 award winners will receive a prize and present a lecture at an IBDG sponsored meeting.
Nominees will typically be within 10 years of conferral of 乐天堂app下载ir PhD degree and be employed in 乐天堂app下载 UK or Ireland. Allowances will be made for career breaks or o乐天堂app下载r circumstances.
Nominees for ei乐天堂app下载r award can self-nominate or be nominated. In ei乐天堂app下载r case a CV and a list of publications highlighting 乐天堂app下载 most significant contributions to biological inorganic chemistry should be provided, along with two letters of support from appropriately qualified people (one of which must be 乐天堂app下载 nominator) highlighting 乐天堂app下载 principal achievements in biological inorganic chemistry or inorganic biochemistry.
Nominations must be made by email by 乐天堂app下载 nominee or nominator.
