Colworth Medal

Colworth Medal

The Colworth medal[1][2] is awarded annually to a biochemist under the age of 35[3] and working mainly in the United Kingdom. The award was established by Professors Tony James (Unilever Research) and Henry Arnstein (Biochemical Society). The medal takes its name from a Unilever research laboratory near Bedford in the UK, Colworth House.

The medal was first awarded in 1963 and many of those receiving it have later become respected scientists[4]. Examples include Hans Kornberg (1963), George Radda (1969), Philip Cohen (1977), Alec Jeffreys (1985), and Greg Winter (1986).
