The Morton Lecture

  • The Morton Lecture was instituted in 1978 to commemorate the late R.A. Morton following an appeal by his colleagues and friends.
  • The lecturer should have made an outstanding contribution to lipid biochemistry.
  • The Johnston Professor of Biochemistry in the University of Liverpool sits with the Awards Committee when the Morton lecturer is selected.
  • The lecture is given biennially at a meeting of the Society and at the University of Liverpool.
  • The lecturer receives an Honorarium of £2,000, and travelling expenses are paid.
  • The lecture is published in Biochemical Society Transactions.

The next award lecture will be presented in 2008 by Roger Williams (LMB, Cambridge, UK) at mTOR signalling, nutrients and disease. Medical Sciences Teaching Centre, University of Oxford, UK, 15 - 16 September 2008.
