Posted on Sept. 30: Inaugural Karl Freeman prizes announced

[img_inline align=”right” src=”http://padnws01.mcmaster.ca/images/Karl_Freeman_Prize.jpg”]Recipients of the 2001-02 Karl Freeman Prize in Biochemistry for top graduate seminars were announced Monday.

The recipients, pictured from left, with Karl Freeman in centre, are: fourth-year PhD candidate Iain Mainprize (first prize PhD), first-year PhD candidate Tracey Campbell (second prize MSc), fourth-year PhD candidate Kari Draker (second prize PhD) and second-year MSc candidate Joe McCann (second prize MSc). McCann will transfer
to PhD in January.

The prizes are awarded to biochemistry students deemed to have presented the most outstanding graduate seminars during the 2001-02 graduate seminar series.

The Karl Freeman Prizes in Biochemistry Graduate Seminars were established in 2001 by Karl Freeman, chair of the Department of Biochemistry from 1973 to 1979 and also acting chair for six months during 1982. This is the first time the prizes have been presented.

Freeman is now professor emeritus but continues to have an active interest in the Department and takes courses at McMaster.

Tracey Campbell was also awarded the 2002/03 Thomas Neilson Scholarship. This is awarded each year to the biochemistry graduate student deemed to show the greatest potential as an independent scientist at the time of transfer to the PhD program. This award was established in memory of Thomas Neilson by his family, friends and colleagues as a token of their appreciation and respect. Neilson joined the Department of Biochemistry in its early years and contributed strongly to its chemical expertise.
