The Portland Press Excellence in Science Award was an annual award instituted in 1964 to recognize notable research in any branch of
biochemistry undertaken in the UK or Republic of
Ireland. It was initially called the CIBA Medal and Prize, then the Novartis Medal and Prize. The prize consists of a medal and a £3000 cash award. The winner is invited to present a lecture at a Society conference and submit an article to one of the Society's publications.[1] Notable recipients include the Nobel laureates
John E. Walker,
Paul Nurse,
Sydney Brenner,
César Milstein,
Peter D. Mitchell,
Rodney Porter, and
John Cornforth.
The Novartis Medal and Prize was last presented in 2019 and will be replaced from 2021 by the Portland Press Excellence in Science Award. Portland Press is the publishing arm of the Biochemical Society.
