ASBMB–Merck Award
Due to the cancellation of the 2020 ASBMB Annual Meeting, the 2020 Annual Awards will be presented at the 2021 ASBMB Annual Meeting in Indianapolis.
There will be no 2021 awards.
Nominations for the 2022 ASBMB Annual Awards will open in early 2021.
The ASBMB–Merck Award recognizes outstanding contributions to research in biochemistry and molecular biology.
Nominations must originate with society members, but the nominees need not be ASBMB members.
The award consists of a plaque, $5,000, and expenses and transportation to the ASBMB annual meeting to present a lecture.
