The Heatley Medal

• The Heatley Medal is awarded for exceptional work that makes biochemistry widely accessible and usable, or for achievements that enable widespread progress and understanding.
• Dr Norman Heatley is known as the scientist who overcame wartime shortages to make the production of penicillin possible and his role in paving the way for mass production was well documented in his obituaries early in 2004. Dr Heatley worked closely with the Industrial Biochemical and Biotechnology Group (IBBG) and they sought nominations for the Medal.
• The recipient of the award will receive an honorarium of £2,000 and give a lecture at a meeting of the Society.
• The lecture is published in Biochemical Society Transactions.
