The Eisenthal Prize

The Eisenthal Prize of £500 will be awarded to the top ranked student applicant.

Professor Robert Eisenthal, (formerly at Biology and Biochemistry at Bath University), was a long standing and active member of the Biochemical Society. Robert died October 16th 2007 and is sadly missed by his family, friends and research colleagues.

The Society has instituted, in memory of Robert Eisenthal and to honour his commitment to science education, The Eisenthal Prize.

Professor Eisenthal was a huge supporter of furthering the practical experiences available to undergraduate scientists. He spent a great deal of thought and effort awarding grants as a member of the Society's Summer Vacation Studentship Review Panel. Robert's algorithm to rank all applicants ensured the fairness and transparency of decision making by the Review Panel and many students will have unwittingly benefited from Robert Eisenthal's involvement with the educational output of the Biochemical Society. Many members of the Biochemical Society, Staff and especially the Education Committee will miss Robert greatly.

The Education Committee wishes this prize to be a lasting mark of respect for a colleague who did so much to make the scheme so successful.

The student applicant ranked as top awardee each year will receive a £500 cheque on completion of the summer vacation studentship and submitted report paper.
