The learned society launched an Early Career Award that is presented to an early career scientist (no more than 15 years post-Ph.D. at the nomination deadline) who has already accomplished distinguished research in biological inorganic chemistry.
We are pleased to announce that the winner of the <link http: sbichem.org sbic-news _blank external-link-new-window external link in new>2015 SBIC Early Career Award is <link http: www.cec.mpg.de mitarbeiter gruppenleiter molekulare-theorie-und-spektroskopie serena-debeer vita.html internal link in current>Professor Serena DeBeer, research group leader at the MPI CEC in the department '<link http: www.cec.mpg.de forschung molekulare-theorie-und-spektroskopie overview.html internal link in current>Molecular Theory and Spectroscopy'.
