Biology - Louisa Gross Horwitz Prize 2015

Columbia University Medical Center invites applications for its Louisa Gross Horwitz Prize. Deadline to nominate is January 30, 2015. The prize is awarded for outstanding basic research in the fields of biology or biochemistry. Its purpose is to honor a scientific investigator, or group of investigators, whose contributions to knowledge in either of these fields are deemed worthy of special recognition.

The prize consists of an honorarium and a citation which are awarded at a special presentation event. The Prize Committee recognizes no geographical limitations. The prize may be awarded to an individual or group. When the prize is awarded to a group, the honorarium will be divided among the recipients, and each member will receive a citation. Preference will be given to work done in the recent past.
