Northwestern University is accepting nominations for its $250,000 Kimberly Prize in Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics. The 2027 recipient of the Kimberly Prize will deliver a public lecture and participate in other scholarly activities at Northwestern in the spring. Nominations from experts in the field and institutional nominations are welcome; direct applications will not be accepted. The Kimberly Prize is made possible by a generous gift from Kimberly Querrey in honor of her late husband, Lou Simpson, who passed away in 2022. In recognition of their incredible generosity, the Simpson Querrey Biomedical Research Center was named in their honor in 2019, along with the Simpson Querrey Institute for Epigenetics and the Querrey Simpson Institute for Bioelectronics.
