The Colworth Medal
- The Colworth Medal is awarded annually for outstanding research by a young biochemist of any nationality who has carried out the majority of his/her work in the UK.
- Donated in 1963 by Unilever Research Colworth Laboratory the award is made to a scientist under the age of 35 by the 1 January of the year in which the award decision is made.
- Those above this age limit, who have lost time early in their career through family commitments, illness, late entry into higher education or other good reasons, will be considered by the Awards Committee.
- The recipient, who receives an Honorarium of £3,000 and expenses, is expected to give a lecture at a meeting of the Society and at one of the Unilever Research Laboratories.
- The lecture is published in Biochemical Society Transactions.
The next award lecture will be presented in 2008 by John Rouse (University of Dundee) at the Annual Symposium: DNA damage: from causes to cures. Robinson College, Cambridge, UK, 15 - 17 December 2008.
The 2009 award lecture will be presented by Dr Giles Hardingham (University of Edinburgh) at the Neuronal glutamate and GABAA receptor
