Gabor Medal

The Gabor Medal is one of the Royal Society in memory of Dennis Gábor (1900-1979), a Hungarian engineer and Nobel Prize winners, award price for interdisciplinary services between life sciences and other disciplines. In the first years since 1989, the award for outstanding scientific contributions to the field of genetic engineering and molecular biology had been awarded. The 350th anniversary of the Royal Society in 2010, an additional award was in addition to the regular allocation awarded in odd-numbered years.

The prize committee considered possible Researchers who are their careers at the beginning or in the middle. Prerequisite for the winner is a citizen - or at least three years of permanent residence - in a country of the Commonwealth of Nations or the Republic of Ireland. The award consists of a silver medal and a prize of 1,000 British pounds.

Award winners

  • 2013 Christofer Toumazou For his success in applying semiconductor technology to biomedical and life -science applications, most recently to DNA analysis.
  • 2011 Angela McLean For her pivotal work on the mathematical population biology of immunity.
  • 2010 Gideon Davies For his highly interdisciplinary work into the three- dimensional structures and reaction coordinates of enzymes, Which Has Transformed glycobiochemistry.
  • 2009 Gregory Challis For his highly interdisciplinary work, exploiting genomics of Streptomyces coelicolor to identify new natural products and biosynthetic enzymes.
  • 2007 Richard John Roberts For his internationally acclaimed Contributions to the discovery of RNA splicing and his structural and genetic studies thathave extended the range of sequence specificity of restriction and modification of enzymes.
  • 2005 Lionel Crawford In recognition of his work on the small DNA Tumour viruses, specifically the papova virus group, papilloma, polyoma and SV40.
  • 2003 Jean Beggs For her Contributions to the isolation and manipulation of recombinant DNA molecules in a eukaryotic organism, adding a new dimension to molecular and cellular biology.
  • Azim Surani in 2001 in recognition of his discovery of mammalian genomic imprinting, revealing the expression of autosomal genes Certain accor ding to the parent of origin. Genomic imprinting Has major implications for human genetics and the inheritance patterns of human disease and its discovery HAS BEEN a major fundamental breakthrough did has changed the way we think about genetics in mammals.
  • 1999 Adrian Peter Bird In recognition of his pioneering work in the study of global mechanisms by Which transcription of the mammalian genome is regulated and for his exploration into the molecular basis of fundamental biological mechanisms, particularly his development of ways of Analysing methylation patterns of eukaryotic DNA using endonucleases and the discovery of and continued research into a new class of DNA sequences found in all vertebrates.
  • 1997 Kenneth Charles Holmes In recognition of his achievements in molecular biology, in his pioneering Particular Analyses of biological structures and viruses, and his development of the use of synchrotron radiation for X- ray diffraction experiments, now a Widely used technique not only in molecular biology but in physics and materials science.
  • 1995 David Hopwood In recognition of his pioneering and leading the growing field of the genetics of Streptomyces, and for Developing the programming of the pervasive process of polyketide synthesis.
  • 1993 Charles Weissmann In recognition of his many Contributions to molecular biology, including his innovative analysis of coli phage Q -beta by the introduction of methods for making site-specific mutations, and the cloning and expression of alpha- interferon genes in bacteria.
  • 1991 Alan Fersht In recognition of his pioneering work in the use of protein engineering to study protein structure and enzyme function.
  • 1989 Noreen Elizabeth Murray In recognition of her pioneering work in the field of genetic engineering, in Particular for her development of the bacteriophage lambda system as a cloning [ vector ?] Into Which Could be incorporated DNA fragments of over 5 kilobases in length.
