2008 OBC lecture award presented
24 June 2008
The 2008 OBC lecture award was presented to Professor Akimitsu Okamoto from RIKEN, Japan at the 31st National Medicinal Chemistry Symposium, held recently at the University of Pittsburgh, US.
The prize, awarded by OBC editor Vikki Allen on 18th June, was in recognition of Okamoto's significant contribution to the field of bioorganic chemistry. In his lecture, entitled DNA-Osmium Complex for DNA Methylation Analysis, Okamoto described an example of his work using osmium to investigate cells.
On receiving the award Okamoto said: "I'm happy, very happy. Of course it is good to know that my work has been appreciated. So I would very much like to thank my collaborators and laboratory co-workers."
OBC also awarded a poster prize at the meeting. The winner was George Acquaah-Harrison, from the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Ohio, Athens, US, who receives a one year print subscription to OBC and two RSC books.
An industrial poster prize, supported by the RSC books programme, was awarded to Dr Michele Potashmen from Amgen. She receives an RSC medicinal chemistry book.
