Northwestern University is calling for nominations for the Kimberly Prize in Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics, which offers $250,000 and will be awarded in 2026. This prize recognizes scientists for significant contributions to biochemical research related to the molecular aspects of life and its clinical implications for human health, open to all nationalities. Recent prize recipients include Jennifer Doudna, Craig Crews, and Ron Evans, who have made impactful discoveries in genome editing, targeted protein degradation, and drug development. Nominations can be submitted through a designated web portal.
The Kimberly Prize, the largest biochemistry award in the U.S., is offered for outstanding contributions to molecular biology that link discoveries directly to human health.
The 2026 recipient will deliver a public lecture and engage in scholarly activities at Northwestern University during the spring.
The inaugural Kimberly Prize was awarded to Jennifer Doudna for her molecular insights into CRISPR/Cas9 systems, impacting genome editing and medicine.
Nominations for the prize, which has recognized transformative scientific contributions, are open to individuals of all nationalities and affiliations, showcasing the global impact of biochemistry.
