This prize is awarded annually to a distinguished biochemist or molecular biologist, based on work carried out predominantly within New Zealand.
The awardee will have demonstrated excellence in biochemistry and molecular biology and have made significant contributions to the scientific community, including the building of research teams, service to the discipline, mentoring and outreach.
The work should reflect sustained productivity as part of their contribution to the field. The NZSBMB Research Excellence prize award winner will present a plenary award lecture at the next NZSBMB annual scientific conference.
“The new award winner will be announced at our 50th year anniversary conference”
We acknowledge that the biochemistry and molecular biology community (and our list of previous award winners) does not necessarily reflect the make-up of New Zealand society. Therefore, we strongly encourage members of groups which are under-represented in science to apply.
The Award comprises a $2,000 cash prize (kindly provided by Custom Science) and free registration to attend the NZSBMB Conference in the year of the Award.
Applicants must be a full member of the NZSBMB (with fees paid and up-to-date) for a minimum of 1 year, at the time of their application.
Applicants agree to present an award lecture at the NZSBMB Conference (Hanmer Springs Nov/Dec 2023), and also attend the NZSBMB Annual General Meeting (to be held during the conference).
To apply, please download the application form below and email it to the NZSBMB Secretary at NewZealandSBMB@gmail.com by the application deadline.
Applications close at the end of August 2023.
