2004 Award for Excellence in Molecular Diagnostics
The Association for Molecular Pathology Award for Excellence in Molecular Diagnostics was created in 1998 to recognize lifetime, pioneering and special achievements by professionals in the fields of molecular biology, molecular pathology, pathology, genetics, microbiology and basic medical sciences, especially as these achievements relate to molecular diagnostics and molecular medicine. Honorees' work has provided the scientific rationale for, or led to the development of, novel technologies for molecular diagnostics. Furthermore, honorees have contributed significantly to disease and patient management through their research.
2004 Biotechnology Heritage Award
The Biotechnology Heritage Award is presented yearly at a special ceremony during the BIO Annual Convention to honor individuals who have contributed significantly to the growth of biotechnology through discovery, innovation, commercialization, and/or public understanding. In honoring these individuals, the Chemical Heritage Foundation and the Biotechnology Industry Organization seek to encourage emulation, inspire achievement, and promote public understanding of modern science, industry, and economics in this rapid-growth area.
2003 Lemelson-MIT Prize for Invention and Innovation
Based at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, MA, the Lemelson-MIT Program was established in 1994 by the late independent inventor Jerome H. Lemelson and his wife, Dorothy. The Program's mission is to raise the stature of inventors and innovators and to foster invention and innovation among young people. It accomplishes this by celebrating inventor/innovator role models through outreach activities and annual awards, including the world's largest for invention the $500,000 Lemelson-MIT Prize. The Lemelson-MIT Program is funded by The Lemelson Foundation, which supports other invention initiatives at the Smithsonian´s National Museum of American History, Hampshire College, the National Collegiate Inventors and Innovators Alliance and the University of Nevada, Reno.
2002 Kyoto Prize
The Inamori Foundation was established as a not-for-profit organization in 1984 by Dr. Kazuo Inamori , founder and chairman emeritus of Kyocera Corporation. The Inamori Foundation reflects Dr. Inamori's belief that human beings have no higher calling than to strive for the greater good of humankind and all the word, and that mankind's future can be assured only when there is a balance between scientific development and psychological maturity. It is characteristic of the Kyoto Prizes that they are presented in appreciation not only of outstanding human achievements, but also of the spirit that motivated each laureate's contributions to mankind.
1987 Lasker Award
The Albert Lasker Medical Research Award celebrates scientists, physicians, or public servants whose accomplishments have made major advances in the understanding, diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and even cure of many of the great crippling and killing diseases of our century.
Ruedi Aebersold
2002 Biemann Medal
The Biemann Medal recognizes an individual's significant achievement in basic or applied mass spectrometry early in his or her career. The award is presented in honor of Professor Klaus Biemann whose lasting legacy is the training of students and postdoctoral associates over a 40-year period at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The Biemann Medal is endowed by contributions from students, postdoctoral associates, and friends of Professor Biemann.
2002 Michael Widmer Award
The Michael Widmer Award is presented in honor of Professor Michael Widmer, former head of the research-focused central analytical unit in Ciba Specialty Chemicals Inc. Novartis Pharma and the Analytical Division of the Swiss Chemical Society sponsor the award for extraordinary performance in the analytical sciences.
2002 World Technology Award
The World Technology Awards were created to honor those innovative individuals and companies from across the globe who most contribute to the advance of emerging technologies of all sorts for the benefit of business and society. We especially seek to honor those innovators who have done work recently which will have the greatest likely future significance and impact over the long-term and who will likely become or remain "key players" in the technological drama unfolding in coming years. These Awards are about those individuals and companies whose work today will, in our members' opinion, create the strongest "ripple effects" in the future — in both expected and unexpected ways.
2002, 2003 Genome Technology All-Star Award
The Genome Technology All-Star awardees are chosen by a peer group of scientists for their pioneering contributions to research and technology development. Dr. Aebersold received the award two years in a row for proteomics.
Tim Galitski
1996 James W. Prahl Memorial Award for the
Outstanding Graduate Student Presented by the University of Utah
Medical Center for his research identifying mechanisms of
chromosome rearrangement and studying the origin of genetic
variation.
1999 - 2001
Burroughs Wellcome Fund Career Award in
the Biomedical Sciences Presented by the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research and
the Whitehead/MIT Center for Genome Research in Cambridge
Massachusetts for combining functional genomics, genetics, and
computational methods to reveal global patterns of gene expression
specifying cell type and developmental potential in
yeast.
Peter Small
2002 Princess Chichibu Global Tuberculosis Award
The Japan Anti-Tuberculosis Association had established the Princess Chichibu Memorial TB Global Award to commemorate the distinguished work of the late Princess Chichibu who had served as Patroness of JATA for 55 years from the foundation of JATA in 1939, and as an effort to encourage further progress in tuberculosis control.
