postdoc prize header

The Max Perutz Fund was set up in June 1980 in honour of the LMB’s founder, Max Perutz, and was established for the promotion and advancement of education and research in molecular biology and allied biomedical sciences.

The Joan A. Steitz Postdoc Prize is made possible by a donation from Royalty Pharma through the Max Perutz Fund (UK charity 1129597). The Prize is presented annually to outstanding LMB postdocs who have been in post for less than six years.
